Hi all,
since the last problems with SF CVS repository, I'd like to propose
the CVS -> Subversion change for wxCode project.
I don't want to start a flame about CVS vs Subversion but rather
indicate some good points in favour of this change:
1) it's easy to migrate thanks to the web interface provided by SF staff
2) it's faster because it exchanges less data with server rather than
CVS and because many operations can be done offline (e.g svn diff is
istantaneous)
3) it has a graphical nice client too (for windows); tortoiseSVN.
4) for cross-platform development, Subversion has a very nice feature:
metadata properties. E.g. all developers who usually use Windows won't
have the problem of permissions for their configure scripts in their
releases. To explain it better: currently if you develop a component
under windows and produce e.g. configure scripts, they will have:
a) windows line endings (and bash doesn't like them!)
b) no execute permissions on Unix systems
using Subversion, the windows developer can just set these properties in
the file itself even if NTFS or FAT32 filesystems do not support them.
In this way when checking out the files from a unix box, all files will
have right EOL and permissions.
Let me know what you think,
Francesco
