it's been quite awhile since I've had anything to say on this project. But this discussion about using subversion is something I can help on maybe. I've tried a variety of revision control systems posted CVS and I can say with a fair amount of confidence that bzr is one of the nicer. It's been fairly easy to work with but the reason I think it's nice mostlybecause I was able to give a co-conspirator his own branch/tree and then merge the two back together again without working hard. So my suggestion would be, if you wish to try bzr is to use the source Forge Web hosting facility as the site where everyone gets a copy of your "authoritative" repository. Changes go back through one of a small number of developers who coordinate with each other and then one of them will push up their repository into the source Forge storage area. Primary advantage of this is that you no longer dependent on source Forge for distribution of sources. Anybody can put up a repository anywhere and make it available to anyone. Anyway, that's my two cents worth. I like bzr, it works well for me. ---eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
