Chris: re CVS at Sf.net.... since I always use SSH on my own projects I tend not to have the problem, but it has been more than problematic for us too. I am considering migrating to SVN, too. Good things for it so far: - you can rsync with another SVN (as I heard, I did not try it), but it is only outgoing, meaning that SF.net has to be the master. http://sourceforge.net/docs/E09 - commits made are seen immediately by anonymous viewers ... yeeha! I tested that with my buddies from RSSOWL who switched to SVN @ sf.net - Subclipse has come a long way and is very usable nowadays.
The only small issue is that it is slower than CVS, but still acceptable. Another issue is that there is no Eclipse releng support for it, which would require custom build script based on PDE build instead of releng. So if I have say, I would say to go for it! -- Cheers Philippe philippe ombredanne | 1 650 799 0949 | pombredanne at nexb.com nexB - Open by Design (tm) - http://www.nexb.com http://EasyEclipse.org - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 1:53 PM > To: Philippe Ombredanne > Cc: 'Rubyeclipse-dev-list Eclipse'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [RDT-Dev] Patch and SF.net CVS issues > > > Philippe, all, > > > Last night, I was readying that patch to submit here, I saw that RDT > > 0.8.0 was released in GA. > > So I though that was cool, because my patch was based on CVS HEAD. > > But I was bitten badly by Sf.net. > > My patch was completely out of sync with the sources in the release > > drop, applying to classes that were worked on and > refactored since :-\ > > Sf.net anonymous pserver seems completely out of sync with > HEAD, which > > can only be accessed by ssh, and requires you to be a committer. > > Just to give an explanation for this part of the email: > > SF.net had a serious CVS meltdown earlier this month.
