Well it appears Hazen will be right on schedule for the 5.7.3 release next weekend so I plan to follow through with the conversion from CVS to subversion in early April as I announced above. Here is my plan. For the next week or two work on converting a number of smaller projects at SF (lbproject, yplot, etc.) to svn to gain experience for the big/complicated plplot conversion. (I have already made a good start with lbproject creating a preliminary local SVN repository for it.) For each of the smaller projects I plan to go through the verification steps of comparing commit messages and tagged releases between the CVS and SVN local versions to make sure all is reasonably well with the conversion. Then after the svn dump file is sent to SF for processing, do the same comparison again between the official SF version of the new SVN repository and my local version as a final check for each project. Once the small-project conversion projects are successfully completed with good final testing/verification results, I will be ready to try the plplot conversion. For now "early April" is the best estimate I can make of when that will occur, but I will refine that estimate as I gain experience with the other conversions. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
