I guess the whole problem is that *any* replacement for CVS is doomed to be bound with same basic issues. I don't think that there's a need for another version control system. There's a need for a software configuration management tool -- an entirely different beast. CVS is good what it's good for, it's just that if you're managing real-life projects, you do much more than just version control. If the consensus is that nobody needs anything more than version control, then CVS is fine. No need to switch. If the consensus is that an SCM tool is what's really needed, then Aegis is a very mature tool that has excellent track record, it's GPL, and it rocks. It needs an attitude switch, but so does move from a non-VCS environment to one with any VCS. Aegis is about 10 years "old" right now, it's used to manage large development projects (not only in software). I'm not pushing for anything -- as I said, I'm using it myself and I'd be happy to aid in the deployment. It makes me a happier developer and that's all that counts (yes, I'm selfish here). If a VCS is all that LyX developers think they need, I guess there's no arguing with that. Cheers, Kuba Ober
