This move has been announced a couple of months ago. It has been clear, that it will be done, it has been until now unknown, when this is to happen. Now you know. > - - I am running Woody, and subversion IS NOT available for Woody.

Any anyway: this is all about the Sarge installer, and subversion is in Sarge.

Subversion has been AFAIK designed to be mostly compatible with cvs on the commands basis. apt-get install subversion should be enough to start, the necessary command to check out the repository has been mentioned a couple of times and also mailed to the translator by Christian.

Sid has a Subversion client called RapidSVN (it will certainly be available from backports.org), I have also used a java tool called jsvn (can be found from freshmeat), which is quite fine, I guess. BTW, you won't notice much difference between CVS and SVN if you're using GUI tools anyway ;) -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
