Hello all! After tomorrow’s release of ArgoUML (0.23.1) I plan to
request conversion of all the projects to Subversion. This means for everyone that you will have to delete and
stop working in your cvs-checked out copy of the projects and instead check out
a new working copy using subversion. If you have any work done in your checked
out copy, during the conversion, you will loose the ability to find it since “cvs
update” will not work anymore after the conversion and you also have
extra work in patching it into your subversion checked-out copy later. For this
reason I urge you to, commit your work into cvs now. If your work isn’t completed,
create a branch and commit it there. Branches will appear in the subversion
repository and you can then use subversion to work in the branch or merge from
the branch. I expect that the CollabNet staff that will do the
conversion are not working weekends so they will probably do this sometimes on
office hours next week. During the actual conversion the project will be
locked. As soon as the conversion is completed and the subversion
repository is unlocked you can start working again. However, there are a lot of small things that will have to be
fixed because of the conversion. Among other things, the Eclipse checkout explicitly
uses CVS. That will have to be fixed for those who checkout from within
Eclipse. Some other tools (the nightly build) and also the descriptions on how
to checkout and build explicitly uses CVS. The website explicitly names CVS in
the browse repository. I will work my way through the tools (non-eclipse) and
as soon as I am done and has it working I will (according to plan) make a
0.23.2 release that I expect has no functional difference but it will be
released using release tools enabled for subversion. If it takes me longer to
do this, if I run into unforeseen problems, the 0.23.2 release will be delayed.
Don’t let this stop you. Just continue your work and commit fixes and
features into 0.23.2. After 0.23.2 I will update the nightly build, web site(s)
and Cookbook in that order. If you want to help in this, you’re most
welcome. Let’s hope for a smooth transition. /Linus ******************************************************************* Linus Tolke Enea Epact AB |
