Well SVN basically works by having that mirror all the time. That kind of sucks for people with many checkouts since it takes more disk space but it provides the same benefits of having a local mirror of the CVS repository which is really just working around the problems with CVS. The general point about the build farms is a strong argument in favor of SVN over the new-fangled revision control systems. It would involve the least change in the operational model and the main build farm maintainer is familiar with it... It's also the easiest to get ahold of. Easier I would say than CVS which you have to download some bug fixes from various unofficial sites to get a good working version of. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
