If we do move from CVS to Subversion, could we wait until a little
while after Sourceforge fixes its CVS issues? Personally, I know that
I have a lot of changes that I've been trying to check in since last
week and I'd like a chance to check those in before a transition as big
as this.
On a side note, does anyone have a Subversion client recommendation for
Linux? I've been using the Cervisia integration in Konqueror for CVS,
but I don't think that it supports Subversion. I've seen eSvn and
RapidSvn, but maybe there are others (or maybe those are good enough in
themselves).
Thanks.
Quoting Francesco Montorsi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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
