Hi Ulrich, Francesco & all --I'll take this as a request for comments!
I am pro-Subversion (for me an obvious improvement), although my component is
still under CVS. I also agree that having 2 different repositories makes little
sense other than during a transition phase.
My only objection / concern is with history: components under CVS are logically
the older ones, and in some cases (like mine) were inherited from other
developers. The comments in CVS (assuming our predecessors have commited with
comments) are sometimes the only information available as to why something was
implemented in a certain way.
Therefore I am in favor of a migration CVS ==> SVN which ideally includes
migrating history, at least in a dedicated branch; obviously more effort, and I
have never done it myself.
Now, to be honest, I had to go through the comments & history only once...
Happy to let you & the rest of the wxCode community decide, this was just some
input.
Cheers,
Ronan

Hi Ulrich,
yes, I think that nowadays CVS is used only by a small number of projects...
the big part I think has moved to SVN (which btw has a lot of advantages).
I think that just asking on the mailing list is the best idea. I remember that
John was still not used to SVN say 1/2 years ago but now probably things have
changed!
For me, obviously is ok (and all my components should already be in the SVN
repo)
Thanks!

Probably most of you already know that SourceForge's servers were
attacked last week
(http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-attack-full-report/). Several
SF services are still down, among them CVS hosting, shell and project
website access and browsing repositories.
In the report is mentioned that SF considers to end CVS service,
although this is heavily disputed in the comments. Nevertheless this
made me think about the current situation of the wxCode project:
About one half of the wxCode components is hosted in CVS, the other half
in SVN. This makes it a bit complicated to use and administer the
components. Personally I would prefer to have all components in one
repository only.
Maybe SourceForge forces us to perform the transition from CVS to SVN,
maybe not. Indepently of SourceForge's decision I'd like to get opinions
from the wxCode developers whether we should make nevertheless the
transition and host *all* components in SVN.
Regards,
Ulrich
