Have you ever Hm. I wouldn't call Al Viro a "random kernel hacker". And the "Bitkeeper vs. everything else" debate raged about three months on LKLM. Yes, I'm a regular reader over there. While Al might be a PITA, he definitely has programming style. And I do trust his opinions. After all, much of my business runs on code that he wrote and it runs well. :-) >looked at the Subversion source code? Have you even used Subversion? IMHO, No. Yes (but not much and it was quite a while ago. I was looking at Agis (sp?), SVN, Bitkeeper (then still in Beta) and quite a few more tools as a replacement for CVS. I ended up with CVS. :-) >the code base is excellent, especially for a project only two years old. Can't comment on that. Didn't read into it, don't intend to. >> Ah well. CVS it is. :-) >As soon as Subversion hits 1.0, the Infrastructure team will install it on >ASF servers and we will begin to transition over to it. Initial >preparations have already begun. IMHO, each project should decide for itself. And especially the committers should decide. You might hit a solid "-1" from me until SVN has actually proved itself in production for at least six months. I will never ever trust a "1.0" release of a tool (no matter which tool) enough to put all my apples (speak: my source trees) on it. Thanks' for the info, I will now start to rsync the jakarta cvs trees on a regular base, so I can desaster recover. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to get a better OSS tool than CVS for SCM. I'd love to be able to use BitKeeper (where the open licensing is unacceptable to me and the cost of about $5000+ per seat per year is too much for a small company like us). But CVS is release 1.11 on almost ten solid years of experience. No way I will trade this for a tool which "just hit 1.0". Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
