FWIW, I think Peter's idea of offering Subversion as an alternative in pgfoundry is very good.
Mmm, do you mean createing periodically "snapshot"? Yes this could be a good idea.
No, I mean that each project could choose to use either cvs or svn, like they do at Apache.
Sure, if you could have both, that would be even better.
I like subversion very much, but one thing that troubles me a bit is the number of extra libraries required to compile and run it. Also, is there pre-compiled binaries for all the platforms that PostgreSQL supports?
I don't know about the server, but for sure what is more important here is the
client side and now that the win environment matter more then before, I have to
say that TortoiseSVN ( tortoisesvn.tigris.org ) is much better then WinCVS.
True. Looking at the Subversion downloads page, they seem to have binaries for various Linux distributions, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X and Win32. According to the supported platforms chapter in pgsql documentation, we also support AIX, BSD/OS, HP-UX, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX, UnixWare, and Linux on Alpha, arm41, m64, MIPS, PPC, S/390 and Sparc.
Developers on those platforms would have to compile subversion themselves, or compile pgsql from source tarballs.
Have you looked at TortoiseCVS (www.tortoisecvs.org)? I think TortoiseSVN is a fork of that.
