Hi Jason,
great news! A big thank to you and the infrastructure team to make it happen.

Good morning all,

It is with great sadness that I announce the death (or hibernation
anyway) of the Xerces-C CVS repository. We should all take a moment of
silence to honor this repository that has served us all so well for so
many years....

And it is with *great* pleasure that announce the grand opening of the
Xerces-C SVN repository at:

  https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/

Long live SVN!

Thanks to the efforts of the ASF's infrastructure group, the CVS
repository was finally transitioned this past weekend. We have asked
the infrastructure team to make the existing CVS repository read-only
to avoid any accidental commits.

Using SVN
===

For those of you new to SVN, it is a drop-in replacement for CVS. The
default command-line interface has nearly all the commands as CVS
(e.g. checkin, checkout, commit, diff, etc), plus a number of new
commands to access SVN's increased functionality. There are also a
number of GUI's available for SVN on Unix/Windows/Mac. Please google
for a GUI near you.

There are a number of guides to help make the transition from CVS, one
is here at apache:

  http://perl.apache.org/contribute/cvs_howto.html

The official manual for subversion is online at:

  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

(Please thank O'Reilly for funding the manual and making it available
for free online).

Repository Access
===

The repository is public, and everyone has read access just as the CVS
repository was configured.

The SVN repository uses a *standard* svn layout of:

 xerces/c/
        |
        | -  branches/
        |
        | -  tags/
         \
           - trunk/


In short:

1) to check out the trunk of xerces/c:

  svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/trunk

2) to check out the code tagged with the Xerces-C_2_4_0 tag:

  svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/tags/Xerces-C_2_4_0/

3) to check out the code in the peiyongz/ branch:

  svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/branches/peiyongz/

Commit Access
===

I'm not sure if the existing committers have been given commit access
to the SVN archive. Could each of the committers please check out the
code, and make a small modification to the credits.txt file and
attempt to commit the file?

Kudos
===

Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible, and thanks to
everyone who waited so patiently for the archive to go live.

Cheers,
jas.
