RE: Migrate to SVN?
I doubt Eclipse will ever have built-in svn support because there are several third party plugins available. Since adding a plugin update site is so trivial in Eclipse I wouldn't think this would be a big deal. The plugin I use with Struts svn is http://subclipse.tigris.org/. It works largely the same as Eclipse's cvs plugin.

RE: Migrate to SVN?
It's true that the svn tools aren't as good as the cvs tools yet. However, Struts recently moved to svn and it's amazing how easy it's been to refactor and rearrange the code base after the switch. The change has really livened up that project. Also, I was able to use Subclipse to work with the Struts repository.

If I might add one more, the process of promoting components from sandbox to proper will be easier with svn move or copy. One thing I'd like to see going forward is that a component is moved out of the sandbox upon promotion. I know it is just an empty directory, but digester and codec still appear here: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons-sandbox/. Also, I don't want to ever see "waiting for bayard's lock in /blah/blah" (not singling Henri out) I would like to forget ever knowing about cvs lock files.

Well, for Maven-based webistes (all at commons) that seems to be quite an issue. Is there any other place than the scm plugin where svn integration in maven makes sense ?

Re: Migrate to SVN?
I don't have any problems with moving to SVN, in fact I've been itching to use it for a while, since it's become relatively mature. The only things I am unsure about is the tool support - I find the advanced CVS support in Eclipse invaluable. However, I guess the more people that use SVN, the more momentum will go into other projects like that one. So here's a +1 from me. Cheers, Rory Henri Yandell wrote: The problems I've hit are: 1/ No easy way to do 'cvs status -v project.xml' and list the tags that have been applied to a component. Instead I've switched to using an alias with: svn list http://svn.osjava.org/svn/osjava/releases | grep $1 | sed 's/\/$//' 2/ Have to change the mindset for doing releases without a piece of work. Say [io] doesn't want to release the find sub-package. The way I'd normally do this in CVS is to check it out; remove the find package and do a cvs tag.

Re: Migrate to SVN?
I'm working with subversion (1.1.1)/subclipse/tortoiseSVN for a while now and I'm not completely convinced. The subclipse plugin for eclipse is by far not as mature as the cvs support (no links supported etc.) I was a little bit disappointed when I tried to use subclipse behind a proxy. I didn't managed to use subclipse behind a proxy, even though I convinced the tech stuff at the customer I'm currently working to enable the delta-v commands. On the other hand the more people using it will make the community grow that works on subclipse/subversion.

I'm not really committing frequently in commons, but I'm in favour of this happening. > Has anyone experienced maven's svn support ? The scm plugin is probably the only thing not supporting it, and that's just a time issue. If it were a priority, it could be done reasonably quickly. Other than that, I think that it should be fine.

The problems I've hit are: 1/ No easy way to do 'cvs status -v project.xml' and list the tags that have been applied to a component.

Re: Migrate to SVN?
It gave me pain; as has installing an svn server, client, Subclipse (Eclipse plugin), tagging in svn and generally maintaining the Berkley DB (it can get corrupted). The ASF though has much more experience with the svn server-side; so the only ones that would really worry me are installing a client, Subclipse and tagging. Once I figured it out, the client installed on Linux okay. On Windows it's a doddle, and on the Mac you do it the same way as on Linux; the fink install was crappy. It might be usable now, or maybe there's a Mac package for it. I've not heard that IDE plugins are any better, but I don't use them so it's not a biggy for me. The more painful tagging in svn is made up for by the advantages of svn, so I'm happy to embrace it.

I do hope you're kidding. All of Jakarta, not just Commons. It involves getting lots of disparate groups of people to move in the same direction and unless there's a need to rush (which there may be), I planned to be asking for a handful of projects each quarter. We've 19 to move. 17 now I guess with ORO and Velocity over. ORO seemed to go over easily enough; did Velocity have any problems do you know? Need to ask them. Also need to decide whether HttpClient would go over in Commons, or become a jakarta/ subproject at that point, same for JCS. Also whether various subprojects of Jakarta that are talking about TLP would go straight to TLP in SVN.

Couldn't we be done by the end of THIS year? The sooner we're done, the sooner people only have one source control system to worry about.

Re: Migrate to SVN?
Now, for this cvs-to-svn (whichever its name is) should be working well. The only experience I had were pretty dark. If someone else manages this well, I'd be happy to switch to svn as a developer.

I've actually been contemplating proposing this recently, but you beat me to it. ;-) As for whether we do it in one go, or piecemeal, I have a strong preference for the former. However, if not everyone is ready to sign up for such a move, I would be more than happy to lead the charge for the components I'm involved with. -- Martin Cooper > A lot of projects, including the HTTP Server project, have been migrating, > as can be seen from http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs. Jakarta and XML are > definitely the laggards now. > >--- Noel > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Migrate to SVN?
We've started doing Jakarta projects over to SVN, but we've been doing the easy stuff first to get into the hang of it. I think a pretty fair target for Jakarta is to be fully in SVN by the end of next year; unless there are reasons to move quicker. One thing to work out with Commons is whether we should move the whole lot in one go; should do commons-proper then sandbox later; or do individual components one at a time as it fits their release cycles etc. Hen On Thu, 25 Nov 2004 14:07:39 -0500, Noel J.
