To run a subversion repository, you need much more infrastructure and more overhead (lots of dependencies from ports, probably a Web server, a database backend etc). Besides, cvs is conveniently integrated with Kerberos (we use :gserver: all the time) which I am not sure is possible with subversion. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
