No complaints from me. I do wonder though... one thing I've noticed about ZC's CVS usage in the past is that you folks never export your code for releases. Indeed, the 2.7.0 source release wasn't even checked out with -P so there's a lot of goofy-looking empty directories in the tarball. A common idiom through a great deal of the code is: __version__='$Revision: 1.201 $'[11:-2] Now... thats a cute hack, but its also a silly waste of time. If releases were exported with -kv, it wouldn't be necessary. If you're going to switch to subversion, could I humbly suggest that you actually follow a release process that obviates the need for that kinda stuff? Changing revision control systems is a perfect time to do that kind of thing as everybody is the mode of learning new a process. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution." -Sathington Willoughby _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
