I've not been able to install the server on Linux, or the client-ssl on a Mac with ease. Partly this is my own damn stupidity I suspect, but I'm competent on both platforms and would expect it to work pretty easily.
I do want to do this, but with the trickle of time I've thrown at it, it's not been easy. I'm with Gary in having asked just why Subversion can't work with a CVS client, are there CVS features that it is unable to support, or that it supports in some non compatible way?
I was recently forced to switch to Subversion at work. I haven't yet tried to install a server, but the client and client-ssl were pretty simple -- I just installed the necessary rpms. I'm not sure how easy it is in a non-rpm environment though.
As I understand it, the primary reason that Subversion can't work with CVS clients is that they don't speak the same language. Subversion advertises itself as being able to transmit data in a much more efficient way. They take a differing philosophy on how to manage file differences and a lot of other things. The interface to the Subversion client is the piece that is very similar to CVS, not necessarily the guts underneath.
So far, so good -- I like Subversion, but I'm not quite ready to switch over yet. I'll probably do it during my next Linux upgrade, which will hopefully be soon ;)
