I think the choice is pretty clear, let's use SourceForge's SVN. It seems that the easiest and most straightforward would be just to import the whole CVS into a new SVN, then switch the CVS to read- only. Otherwise, we'll have to keep track of what's in CVS and what's in SVN. But I haven't run such an import before. That's my two bits. I fully the support the switch. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Using ReBirth is like trying to play an 808 with a long stick. - David Zicarelli _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
