The Subversion server will be switched off on May 1st, 2016 and extension authors that still rely on the system are adviced to move their data to other infrastructure. Following the general trend, we suggest to move to other open source code hosting platforms like [GitHub](https://github.com) or [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org). To ease the migration to Git, we already provide all SVN repositories converted to (read-only) Git repositories in the [TYPO3-svn-archive](https://github.com/TYPO3-svn-archive) organization on Github. From there, it is easy to [copy the repository](https://help.github.com/articles/duplicating-a-repository/) to your own account. If your deployment process still relies on SVN as source for extensions, you can also access Github repositories through SVN, as described in their [help](https://help.github.com/articles/support-for-subversion-clients/).
