Hi Dave, Are you going to go ahead with the conversion? I'm eager to switch to SVK.

There are two scripts that come with Subversion for sending emails on commits. I've been using the python one (mailer.py), and it works well. But porting activitymail probably wouldn't be too hard, I'd think. Otherwise, I'm thinking of moving my projects to svn, too, probably after I attend the svn tutorial at OSCON this summer. It's well worth the move, IMO. -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/

Moving to subversion?
I'm getting fed up with the damn sourceforge CVS instability and slowness. What do people think of moving to Subversion, hosted either on my own box (svn.urth.org) or maybe svn.perl.org if I can talk Ask and/or Robert into it? I'd convert the existing CVS repo, and since we don't have any branches (AFAIK), it should work fine (tags convert ok, IIRC).

Well, I do backup the SVN repos on my server, but I'd like it to be on svn.perl.org too, just cause that's cooler ;) They're hosting DBI and DBD::Oracle currently, so I'm thinking it might be possible. -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/
Re: Moving to subversion?
Hmmm, I haven't used Subversion before, but as long as there's something for OS X, it's fine... (And speaking of which: http://www.pycs.net/bbum/2004/3/16/). Too bad we can't just get a free copy of Perforce. I really enjoyed it at my previous work. Now I need to go read about svn. --d Dave Rolsky wrote: I'm getting fed up with the damn sourceforge CVS instability and slowness.

Re: Moving to subversion?
Just on a usability note, I'm in favor. I've been using svn on several in-house projects over the last year or so, with no complaints -- well, setting up the server end is somewhat involved, but once it's set up you rarely have to visit it again. The added functionality (proper handling of directories, renaming, etc) are beyond worth it. Oh, for the OS X question, here's my first hit on google: http://www.pycs.net/bbum/2004/3/16/ Cheers, Matt
