Subject: Re: Stable/Unstable and CVS

First of all we need sourceforge to fully support Subversion, I don't know if it's the case but it's very important. NO we don't want to move to something else. "Hey my name is Yves #2 and I can host your SVN server" NO!!!!!

BTW, can someone just tell the big differences betwen subversion and CVS?

Forgot it, just read it on wikipedia
:P
  • Atomic commits. Interrupted commit operations do not cause repository inconsistency or corruption.
  • Renamed/copied/removed files retain full revision history.
  • Native support for binary files, with space-efficient binary-diff storage.
  • Directories are versioned. Entire directory trees can be moved around and/or copied very quickly, and retain full revision history.
  • Constant-time branching and tagging.
  • Optimized repository accesses. This reduces unnecessary network traffic to the repository host.

I already worked with subversion and didn't see much of a difference (apart from 'snapshot' revisioning instead of file revisioning).. I did understand though from what people said, that it is better (tried it almost 3 years from now and it was a bit unstable at that point though.. i'm sure it's better now).
Since I don't see a huge difference in cvs/svn, I mean difference as in 'a month of training for all devels just to be able to use svn correctly without screwing up everything', I say go for it.
Question is : SF gives svn support.. but is it official full support or was it "we're trying to get svn working, can people use it and see if we set it up correctly".. I wouldn't want them to be still trying to set it up and we end up with loosing all commits done on SVN... (are the 2 synced or do we drop cvs completly when we switch to svn ?)

in any case, let's just make sure svn is fully supported by SF, and let's do the switch!

I think Sourceforge is beginning to offer Subversion service. I think
branching is easier and cleaner in subversion. Should we try to move to
subversion?

Subversion has for sure a lot of improvements ... GNA has proprosed a
subversion service for several months now, and that's really a pleasure
to use it !

So if we have to vote for subversion, I r ... now there is for sure
persons more experienced than me about cvs and subversion, than can
provide more arguments :)
