Hi,
As you may know, Beagle is hosted in GNOME CVS. Tomorrow, the 29th, at
23:59 GMT, GNOME will start the migration to Subversion. This is great
news for Beagle, which has suffered with the shortcomings of CVS for
quite some time.
During the migration, non-anonymous GNOME CVS will not be available.
Anonymous CVS should continue to work throughout the migration. When
the migration is finished, CVS will be reenabled, but in a read-only
mode. It is probably a good idea for anyone who has local changes in
their CVS trees to make diffs before the migration happens.
Modules will be converted in the order of their activity over the last 3
years. Beagle is number 13 on the list. Based on a recent test
migration (in which Beagle was #18), it will probably take about 12
hours before Beagle is migrated.
My understanding is that it will be usable as soon as it has finished
migrating, but I would like to ask developers to PLEASE NOT COMMIT to
the tree for a couple of days following the migration. Beagle has large
amounts of dead code in its tree, and I would like to take this
opportunity to rearrange the source tree and clean things up. This will
be quite a bit more difficult if people are committing in different places.
There is a small possibility that the migration will fail, as it did in
a previous attempt in July. If that happens, we'll just continue as we
were on CVS.
I will try to email the list with updates, as I will be watching the
migration closely. To watch the migration yourself and get the latest
news on its progress, check out the GNOME Wiki page about it:

Thanks,
Joe
