Re: [PD-dev] easy way to download the whole shebang
SourceForge also has Subversion we can use. I think we all agreed in the past that the SourceForge repository would be the best one for now. As for the transition, its going to be a lot of work. I think the only thing preventing it from happening is someone taking the lead on that project. Its yours if you want it. .hc On Aug 11, 2006, at 8:15 PM, Luke Iannini (pd) wrote: Speaking of trick CVS commands, are there any plans to transition to Subversion any time soon? : ) I'd be happy to help out... http://code.google.com/ is Subversion based (see Project Hosting).

Hallo, carmen hat gesagt: // carmen wrote: why is it going to be a lot of work? i recently converted all my projects to git - just a matter typing 'git-svnimport /var/svn'. theres also a git-cvsimport, which i haven't tried, but is presumably just as simple since SVN is just CVS with a few annoyance fixes. every last commit was retained, down to the tags and log messages, all with no effort on my part. free software can be great.. Technically going from CVS to SVN is no problem, socially however it is. One reason *is* the already huge number of developers, so it probably is only possible to do it step by step, like for example first convert the abstractions directory to SVN, because it doesn't have many dependencies to other parts of the tree (like no g_canvas.h to #include etc.) Then maybe flext-externals could walk over, as they aren't a part of the Build-system yet anyways and there are only a handful of developers using flext, many of them like Thomas and I are already using subversion for managing their stuff as far as it's outside of Sourceforge. flext needs some Pd headers, those could be copied over as well. I'm a bit unsure how to go on with Pd itself. In some recent mails Miller talked a bit about his problems keeping his source tree in sync with the CVS, so just telling him: You have to switch to yet another system may be a bit unfriendly. However I believe Miller's problems with CVS are very similar to the problems I had with CVS all the time and which I could never solve inside CVS, but they were solved automatically since I use Subversion. One simple example is, that Subversion is much more forgiving when it comes to accidents like creating a directory you didn't want to create. With subversion, you can just delete it, with CVS even such a simple task is a big hassle. Also renaming, moving and tagging is much easier with Subversion.
