These modules are now no longer with us. Of the version control systems that Meld supports, the following are Expected To Work: * Git * Mercurial * Bazaar * Subversion We also have: * Fossil - Relatively new and looks okay, but it needs to use newer Meld API. * SVK - As long as it just works like SVN it can stay. And in the totally-unmaintained column: * Monotone - Our 'interface version' support is 9.0, and they're at 13.0. I have no idea whether anyone is using this or whether it works. * Darcs - Our module code looks okay, but I have no idea what its status is. * CVS - I guess people still use this? It doesn't support *any* modern VC capabilities, and is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. * RCS - Really? Our Monotone and Darcs modules haven't been touched by anyone who actually uses them in *four years*. It's two or three years for CVS and RCS. One of my goals for 1.7.4 is to migrate all VC modules to get rid of the diff-then-patch approach to getting repository versions of files, and I'm not above removing support for the above systems in order to get there. I'd like to support as wide a range of systems as possible, but right now it's just not happening. If you use any of the above, then please make noise now. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
