Well, codeville is definitely too immature for our purposes. Monotone doesn't have proper secure history support. And the merging advantages of the newer SCMs may not be all that they appear. Darcs's patch-based structure is nice, but the lack of a proper hash-based history isn't; in general Darcs is immature. Probably we should go with Subversion; it looks like there is some way yet to go with the distributed SCMs. > > Janzert -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
