Well, it's not installed by default on any of those, of course. It works
well on macs, but windows? eh, haven't tried it yet :) I finally got me a
macbook pro with vmware, so I can test things out in windows, finally :) The
interwebs tell me that things should work decently well on windows, albeit a
bit slow. Another solution is to use the cvs-git server, which is compatible
with windows cvs frontends. Or, we could use monotone, bazaar, or mercurial,
which are all written in python.
* where does the repository go? if not Sourceforge, who
is going to backup and do maintenance?
So I finally got around to reading sourceforge's backup policy, which
actually isn't as useful as it may seem:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=30227&group_id=1
The only case when they'll restore data is if there is some kind of
catastrophic event where their servers are. So, it's a good thing that I'm
mirroring subversion, as I don't think they'll restore the project if
someone accidentally delete the project :)
So, we can't really reasonably rely on sf to do all the backing up for us.
One of the nice things about git (and other distributed vcs's) is that
everyone has an efficient mirror of the repo (git reduces the size of the
repo by a factor of 4).
That, still, isn't really a backup policy though. I've been independently
looking into using an online backup company (something like http://mozy.com,
maybe) to backup my personal data. It'd be pretty simple to piggyback the
felix repository in with that. I'm not how to set up shared backups so that
multiple of us can access it though.
