You could also use bzr, which can also easily import cvs repo's, and even
still be a server for read-only cvs access, for those who still want

Check out the CVS section on

My preference for hg is a personal preference, I also use git for projects
that use that, and I even use subversion for a few projects that I'm not
active enough on to bother creating a mercurial mirror.

Of course I agree with all of your (Rob's) arguments, and I'm sure
most others as well. Don't need to keep repeating arguments I
already agree with. I just think this project should deal with
manpower first, and I'm RCS-neutral. I'm awfully, dreadfully sorry
that I accidentally mentioned CVS in giving an opinion.
Okay then, you know, we're going around in circles. :-) This is
exactly like a past discussion that ended up with me setting up
the hg repository. So I did try to get this tcc onto a modern
distributed RCS, and then managed to get Detlef to take over, but
no commits in the past 7 months or so. Anyone care to continue
that? So that's one data point. It says we need muscle.
No muscle, no results. Need'um reliable muscle first, else
everything is stuck. Even the scenario where you (Rob) kindly send
patches over under LGPLv2 requires muscle plus a distributed RCS.
I was just trying (very carefully, knowing you are around, but
obviously not carefully enough) to point out to the list that
without reliable muscle, nothing is going to move.
So to keep my message simple -- what we need is action, and I
think those who can take action gets to decide. Forget I ever
mentioned CVS. We're beggars here, the thingy is mostly in deep
freeze, and in my very humble, personal opinion, I think I would
accept a bowl of plain rice instead of holding out and starve in
hope of a gourmet meal. I also think opinions like mine are very
cheap, thus I fervently hope for someone to step up to the plate.
