Because this is a core piece of infrastructure that could drastically affect this project, we need to proceed with due caution.

Is CVS being discontinued?
If so, at what point?
Glen, is that a +1 (commitment of effort)?
Is anyone on POI familiar enough with Subversion to branch, tag and merge?
Google for "subversion OS X" is all complaints and "get special build from so-and-so", is OS X an actively supported platform for subversion? Has anyone (known to a person here) ever installed a compatible (with svn.apache.org) subverison on OS X?
Are any active maintainers/developers of Subversion using OS X? What version is svn.apache.org (1.0, 1.1?)
How many projects have switched?
How many Jakarta projects have switched?
What problems have other projects converting had?
How did they resolve those problems?
How long have the first converted projects run on Subversion?
Have they faced any corruption/loss of data/etc?
Does Eclipse (my IDE) support subversion?
Does IntelliJ support subversion?
What consequences will we face if we do not switch?
What advantage will the POI project gain by switching given that our directory structure is relatively stable?

been working very well for me, and you can get pre-built binaries at:

Just wondering if the POI community have any thoughts on a
migration to Subversion?

I'm aiming to get Jakarta migrated over to Subversion this quarter and
this email is intended to nudge the start of the POI migration. The process
seems pretty easy, though I'm not finished on my first one (jakarta-regexp):

http://www.apache.org/dev/cvs2svn.html

Alternatively, I'm looking to hear the problems with the idea of a
migration to SVN so I can get the Infrastructure guys to deal with
them.




Personally not against it.  I think Andy had some concerns about support
under OS/X.  Not sure if they still hold or not.  Andy?

Glen
