Re: [Xastir] CVS - SVN
Thanks for this update (and the one that followed. I know understand more fully what was being discussed earlier. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a future update with methods for upgrading/converting as necessary. I use my own script (which I've shared before) and will need it's own tweaking. I also use crontab to nightly check the repository for updates (using cvs -n update), so I'd like to learn about similar SVN functions (or GIT) when the time comes (if it comes). Curt et al, thanks as always for your dedication and hard work to keeping Xastir the great product it is. On Feb 1, 2011, at 17:44, Curt, WE7U wrote: On Tue, 1 Feb 2011, Chip G. wrote: OK.

Validation of this data is going to require several days and we anticipate that this service will be restored sometime in the later part of week. We are also considering the end-of-life of the CVS service and hope to have user support in migrating CVS users to Subversion in coming months. Subversion generally provides parity to CVS commands, and many of our users have made this transition successfully in the past. From SVN, projects can move to Git if desired. - That note was dated Saturday, January 29th, 2011. -- Curt, WE7U. http://www.eskimo.com/~archer APRS: Where it's at!http://www.xastir.org Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.

I'm not sure how the author does it, but DX Spider can be updated (at least for downloading updates) using either CVS or GIT. I switched to GIT when I migrated it to my Sheevaplug. Checking with Google it appears that git has CVS server emulation, in which case it might be an easier transition than subversion.

Re: [Xastir] CVS - SVN
Some of the wiki links seem to be broken. But cruising the wiki information gives me no help on how to do SVN, only CVS. If there are other methods (prefered or otherwise) for getting the data to our computers (i.e., GIT) then how about we put it on the wiki?! Thanks.
