I know there are more modern methods than CVS, but I'm not sure what the
real benefit to our development model will be. There are only a few
contributors, few collisions, and only a single tree.
More to the point, changing from CVS would require changing documentation,
setting up the new system, and retraining the developers (me).
>From a development point of view the major issues for OWFS are:
1. the libtool/automake/autoconf system is opaque and hard to modify.
2. hardware testing is difficult without a full suite of devices/bus
masters.
3. library and compiler differences in the different OS, CPUs and versions
4. a very protean design makes learning and describing the system difficult.
(owserver/owfs/owhttpd/ownet/...)
5. We have a rather desultory documentation writer (me).
Note that CVS isn't on the list.
