Hi Patrick,

Our requirements are pretty specific: * Source control system must be cross-platform, and fast * A central canonical source for the software is essential * An easy migration path from our existing system (svn) The cross-platform requirement rules out git for the moment, the best distributed candidate is Mercurial, then perhaps Bazaar-NG. In fact the argument about whether centralised or decentralised source control is "better" is not appropriate. They are different, and suit different needs. Subversion fulfils its requirements very well - it is cross-platform, allows us to manage access rights for developers, provides a canonical source for the source code, and was very easy for developers to use from the start because of both windows GUI front ends like Tortoise and a very similar command syntax to cvs. The arguments for investing time & effort into moving away from our existing system would need to be very compelling, and so far I haven't heard a really compelling one. Thanks, Dave. -- Dave Neary OpenWengo Community Development Manager Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +33 9 51 13 46 45 Mob: +33 6 28 09 73 11 _______________________________________________ Wengophone-devel mailing list Wengophone-devel@lists.openwengo.com http://dev.openwengo.com/mailman/listinfo/wengophone-devel
