The logical choice--given Subversion was always intended as _the_ CVS replacement. > Has anyone ported SVN to plan9 (I only need the client side), or > alternatively is anyone using linuxemu to run the Linux binary? After spending way too many years of misspent youth trying to get SVN working (well) on various platforms, I finally threw in the towel, picked a DVCS and have never looked back. The breaking point was when I realized it was easier to build Python from scratch on an OS from a company that uses three letters way too often than it was to even get the basic portions of the Subversion dependency tree in place. The problem with the DVCS route: most of the tools that allow working with Subversion require the svn client, or at least the library. Your milage may vary. All that said, getting subversion to build and work is a good test case for APE. If nothing else, it is a great place for linuxemu... -jas
