[kaffe] Re: request for switching to subversion
Hey, So now, I'm posting publically. What do all the existing developers think about switching? I'm fine with CVS and I'd really hate to install svn on all my strange boxes. CVS is very proven and portable. Maybe it is possible to get CVS in read only export? I don't even have commit access. -R ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

That might be possible, I see a howto here: http://sam.zoy.org/writings/programming/svn2cvs.html 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. I think I'd like to set up a single-purpose Xen session on my new server to host it. In particular, it would be nice to get rid of the cvs2ps-based email script I made, since that's pretty buggy and incomplete. :-) Cheers, - Jim ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

There are lots of places that currently access kaffe cvs directly. Notifying all of those users is going to be a pain.

That might be possible, I see a howto here: http://sam.zoy.org/writings/programming/svn2cvs.html It's certainly possible to setup a readonly cvs copy of a read/write svn repository. But unless we switch off cvs at some point, users who only do readonly checkouts will never be inclined to switch.

I think I'd like to set up a single-purpose Xen session on my new server to host it. 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.

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

I had heard rumours of some such beast. I guess I should hang out on irc more often. :-) It would be cool to split some of the servers across multiple physical locations to provide some redundancy...
