There are lots of places that currently access kaffe cvs directly.

But unless we switch off cvs at some point, users who only do readonly checkouts will never be inclined to switch. > I've been using svn for my own personal repository of stuff for about 2 > years, and I've been quite happy with it. > > It would take some time to prototype this, but I'm willing to do the > work.

We have a xen setup already to go. 3 xen servers, large file server, gigabit nfsroot. kaffe.brainfood.com is a 512m(ram), 40g setup running 2 tinderboxes already. > In particular, it would be nice to get rid of the cvs2ps-based email > script I made, since that's pretty buggy and incomplete. :-) /me whispers NIH. Always use someone else's work or script. There are plenty of cvs/svn -> email notification scripts to choose from. We haven't used one for svn, so does anyone have any suggestions? _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
