New subject: svn migration finished (was Re: subversion again...)

14 Jul 2008


      hi all.
to lighten my growing frustration with CVS i would like to propose again 
to switch the Gem development from CVS to SVN.
the main reason for me right now is, that my personal online-time has 
been greatly reduced within the last weeks (and it is not clear whether 
it will grow again);
with CVS i unfortunately need to be online for quite everything (even to 
query whether i have modified any files), this is better with SVN (at 
the expense of harddiskspace)
other boni:
  - the main Pd-repository is now using subversion too
  - all the fancy stuff about renaming files, fixing execution-bits, 
deleting unused directories and so on
  - standardized format for links to the current (or a certain) 
development branch; the main-branch could be 
https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/Gem/trunk; what would 
it be on CVS? cvs://cvs.gem.iem.at/cvsroot/pd-gem/Gem ? (it's probably 
readable by humans, but not standardized and thus not readable by machines)
  - some of the remaining GemLibs (e.g. FTGL) are now also hosted in 
svn-repositories upstream, so we could more easily include them.
i would suggest to keep the repository at sourceforge (why bother with 
setting up our own)
plllleazzzze!!
