CVS is a double-edged sword. It can be powerful, but may be an overkill for very small projects. For instance, sometimes the diffs cannot be applied cleanly, and their are branches forks, and other problems which require knowing how to use it properly. If a project has one main developer, then it is probably a good idea not to use it. I don't know if that is the case for r2llib and refreshd, but I'm just it could be. 2. Instead of Sourceforge we could use BerliOS or GNU Savanah. Both use the Sourceforge backend and both are less crowded than Sourceforge. I have an account on all three of them, so I don't mind which one too much. I am slightly tilted towards BerliOS because it already hosts mirrors of Haifux' site and my Freecell Solver project. > i guess we can settle the mailing list issue tomorrow at the club > meeting, so if you want to make a difference, be there...
