The debian gforge server, Alioth, does seem to offer Subversion services. I have not checked any version of the gforge debs, though. Though IMHO a gforge server requires much closer attention to users than have today. If it is just for having Subversion instead of the CVS avilable in other gforge sites, I hardly see any point in it. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
