The flip side of this is that our current rate of growth is not sustainable
on the current server. I am probably going to need to do something about
that sooner rather than later. I may have to find a new physical location
for the flightgear cvs and ftp servers in the next few months as well.
These are pretty high bandwidth machines, so running them off my home dsl
connection is not a good solution for anyone. I also need/want ssh access
to the cvs server so I can do low level cvs maintenance and configuration
when needed.
Question about svn: I haven't looked closely at it. How does it handle
authentication and write access? Is it similar to cvs where it leverages
the host's user account and file system permission system, or does it have
it's own built in scheme? I.e. if we did switch to svn, would we still need
to create unix accounts and manage unix permissions to control write access
to the repository?
Regards,
Curt.
