Hear, hear. Also, the lack of any advance notice is very annoying. I'm
sure Marten is indeed working for IC&S but I haven't heard of him before
today. This smells like a herioc sysadmin type of action.
I'm working on a refactoring of the imap code, and have been busy
merging changes in the 2_0 branch into my own branch. Now I'm basically
left out to dry, and merge all the changes I've made since today
manually once I actually get my svn access. Doable I'm sure, but an
unnecessary hassle nonetheless.
So I would propose the following:
The current SVN repository is quietly ignored until we release
2.0-final, and we continue to work in CVS.
After the release of 2.0.0 a sunrise period for SVN is announced well in
advance for migration to SVN. This period is started off with a fresh
migration of the dbmail CVS repository into SVN, and a full notification
to all developers with write access which includes their logins. During
the sunrise period we have write access to both CVS and SVN and
developers are responsible for making sure SVN is up-to-date.
After the sunrise period, we enter a sunset period for CVS. During this
period, again announced well in advance, CVS is closed for write access.
This is the last chance to move code changes from CVS to SVN.
Finally, CVS is closed all together and we're all happy in a brave new
SVN world.
There is such a thing as responsible change management. And this aint it.
Ilja, where are you??

How can this possibly be a good idea this close to release? It seems
nobody here has any respect for the RC status that we are in.
I'm not trying to flame, I think DBMail is great, and I want it to get
better, but IMHO the lack of leadership is really hurting the project.

Hi all!
Today I've finally converted the CVS repository to Subversion, which is
intended to be used for further development. The repository is accessible
at (which can also be viewed using a web browser):
https://svn.ic-s.nl/svn/dbmail/
The equivalent of CVS HEAD can be found in the trunk directory, which
should be checkout out and be kept up to date when following the latest
development. You can check it out like this:
$ mkdir dbmail
$ cd dbmail
$ svn co https://svn.ic-s.nl/svn/dbmail/trunk
Branches and tags can be checked out in a similar manner. See the user
guide at http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more information.
People who currently have repository write access in CVS will soon receive
an email with new login information.
Regards,
Marten Klencke
