I am *not* against SVN. I *am* against a host that isn't reliable. If GoogleCode is reliable, then I am willing to use them. I assume we would have to do a svn repo import, since if google doesn't allow this, then I doubt that anyone would want to switch. All the history will be gone. For space, it looks like we need at least 2-3 GB by the end of the year, assuming they offer a ftp directory, where we can host all the nightly builds & other external files this project uses. GNA has no real limit it seems, until they yell at us. For SVN space, since a copy is a 'cheap' copy, I think Gerard said the whole repo is around 400MB now. I would think asking for 1GB would be OK? Or ask what happens if the repo becomes full? Perhaps wait for the others to chime in on this though, before you go asking? _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
