After considering all the comments, etc, here is the plan.
We will move to subversion starting Wednesday, October 26th. This means that CVS except for wwwdocs will become readonly at that time. The conversion should take roughly 39 hours. I have chosen wednesday because: a. 1.3.0rc1 will be out tonight or this weekend (it would have been this morning, but there is a small packaging issue being worked out). Using a 1.3 client, the checkout sizes of the converted repo (NOT THE ONE CURRENTLY THERE) is 640 meg, instead of 900 someodd meg. b. 39 hours means it will finish around Friday sometime, which gives the weekend, which is usually light usage, to solve any immediate problems we haven't seen yet. c. Since we want people using a 1.3 client, waiting for 1.3.0 to release is wrong, since you want to know about any critical or showstopper bugs during the RC phase so they can be *fixed* in 1.3.0, not wait till it's released and then complain and wait for 1.3.1. d. It will give me a bit of time to reorg the wiki documentation, and replace our current cvs docs with an equivalent (though i'm very tempted to reorg the wiki docs and simply point people at the reorg'd wiki docs instead of having 2 pages that describe how to work with svn + gcc) Savannah should start mirroring gcc.gnu.org::gcc-svn sometime Friday, and throw a readonly svnserve somewhere (Again, i recommend a 1.3 or 1.3.0 release, for performance reasons) :). Before anyone asks, due to some bug fixes by iant to the old-gcc/gcc merging script by iant, the revisions for the new gcc repo will be slightly different from the old one, and thus: You will need to delete your current svn/svk based checkouts and redo them. --Dan
