Possibly - I don't really want to get into an argument about what SCM 
works better for whom under what circumstances (I'll leave that 
discussion to others :-)).

Just in case it got overlooked - we have a (mostly) working setup for 
creating a buildenv and packages, for storing the sources and for 
generating the packages page for the homepage including a changelog.

We also have the requirement (per Sourceforge terms of use) to provide 
the sources for a binary release in the FRS (which we currently don't 
do, since according to the link Mike provided, having those sources in 
CVS is not sufficient).

So, looking for a different SCM, might be interesting (and 
possibly/probably provide benefits) - but it doesn't address the issue 
that we're not providing sources for binary releases in FRS.

I'm not emotionally attached to buildtool - if we can find something 
that's better (and find somebody who does the work of porting everything 
we currently have in buildtool), I see no reason not to switch.

Same goes with CVS - I don't really care which SCM the sources are saved 
in.

I'm just not sure that the project has the manpower for replacing 
buildtool and migrating to a different SCM right now - and for the 
project, it's probably better, if people work on getting bering-uClibc4 
"production ready". But if there's manpower to do both (and overhaul the 
webpage and docs), that would be great.

As always, I don't speak for anybody but myself.
