Hopefully, there will be no "heavy lifting" needed for a switch though--we can just give Infrastructure the word to switch and it's done. > CVS is the work horse of Open Source.

Apparently so...I checked the cvshome.org site and they even have advertisements for SVN (lower left corner) on their home page. > I am in favour of moving to Subversion at some time > in the not too > distant future. > Noted again. These endorsements do help in deciding whether to switch. 6-9 months (my previous guess) is probably too much time, but let's wait about three or four and see what happens. (It's not just SVN, maybe the new servers they have for it are clunky, etc. Time is good for these things to iron out.) If only two or three are switching, I would be leery against it. If it's half of Apache by then, let's do so. Thanks, Glen
Re: [Fwd: CVS and Subversion]
Subversion is an effort to improve upon CVS in a number of areas. One such area is revision control. Subversion remembers which changed files were committed in a single commit transaction. These change sets can be viewed later, and reverted. Subversion has strong migration utilities from CVS. I migrated some of my own projects without problems. Addmittedly they are small. By now the ASF must have collected much experience with such migrations. CVS is the work horse of Open Source. I think it is a good thing to take part in its innovation in the form of Subversion. I am in favour of moving to Subversion at some time in the not too distant future. Regards, Simon On Mon, Jun 14, 2004 at 12:28:42PM +0100, Chris Bowditch wrote: > Glen Mazza wrote: > > >Noted.

Re: Java text geometry
Hi Peter, I didn't have a look at your work yet. So perhaps there's no reason for me to speak up at all. I personally find the Java Text API hard to extend and not very modular. So here's my request. Could you please provide some kind of hook in form of an interface so that I can easily write a patch for UTA anytime? You'll also need some kind of attributed string like Java provides in its java.text package. Would be fine to have a place where I can grab the input in a well defined format and pass the result back to FOP. Thanks in advance, Christian Z.

If no problems with them, or at least no major problems, then I think it would be fine for us to switch products if other committers would like. However, this will still require someone SVN-loving enough to do the heavy lifting of migrating our source code over. CVS is still quite fine with me, so I'm not motivated enough to bother with migrating it. I'm in agreement with you Glen. I'm not motivated to do the migratation and relearn tools, etc. Lets wait and see how many other projects migrate. Chris
