[sane-devel] Migrate from CVS to SVN or DVCS?
Is there any interest in migrating SANE's CVS to a newer revision control system? Subversion would be an improvement for its repository-wide revision numbers. A DVCS such as git would be even more interesting, given the apparent number of people who could contribute code and/or scanner test data. I became interested in this when planning to make a CVS snapshot package to use some of our scanner hardware. I realized I didn't know offhand how to refer to a particular revision of the whole tree with CVS. With DVCS, maintainers could pull from anyone's repository which contains useful changesets, and perhaps the newer RCS systems' export features would make incremental releases easier.

Additionally I find git overly cryptic to be help me to actually think of coding, from the distributed systems I prefer Mercurial (hg) most. So my votes are svn or hg. -- Ren?

we should use a service that alioth provides, and preferably one with broad multi-platform support. allan On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 12:14 PM, Jeffrey Ratcliffe wrote: > 2008/10/22 Ren?

Well, if it's about usability, Darcs beats them all. That having said, I often use Mercurial because it performs very well. Projects which contain big files are a pain with Darcs as well as with Git.

Sitting behind a corporate firewall is no fun with CVS. So, any of subversion, bazaar and git would be an improvent for me. Others might be as well but I have no experience with them (and don't fancy learning the ropes of yet another VCS right now). That said, IIRC, there are a number of SANE site maintenance scripts that assume/depend on CVS. These would have to be ported to whatever VCS SANE would change to. Anyone has a list of these? Are there any takers for porting?

I had some time while waiting for git clone cvs sane-backends ;) but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Alioth supports +1-voted DVCSs: http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Bzr http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Hg
