Should the SF repository switch from CVS to SVN on Sourceforge? [ ] yes [ ] no
i am all for it, but: does sourceforge already implement some kind of acl for svn? or can we live without acl's?
Uh, we need to check this. But AFAIK we currently only use the ACL on Miller's branch.
there are some other modules too, like iemlib,...
personally i would favour a acl-less system
- sort out techical issues with branches, tags etc.
for externals i would suggest to split branches on each external separately, (e.g. /externals/zexy/trunk instead of /trunk/externals/zexy or /externals/trunk/zexy)
Yes, I agree with this, but this can be dealt with after The Big Change, I suppose. For the externals we also should to take care not to break the extended Build-system. Some changes will be necessary to the Build of course, because of the usual trunk/tags/branches layout in SVN.
well the trunk/tags/branches layout in svn is really just a recommendation. we need not stick to it.
however, you are right that my proposal would break any BIG build system.
so probably a big /trunk and a big /tags would not be so bad (with /trunk/pd and /trunk/pd-devel in parallel) for most externals there are no real "branches" so we could skip this. and whenever an external (or pd) makes a release, a "shallow" copy would be made into "/tags" (or "/releases" which i prefer)
I cannot really comment on how to best deal with the branches of Pd's sources.
- find someone (incl. admins!) who volunteers to do the import. I
would volunteer but I wouldn't want to do this completely alone.
i would volunteer too, however i don't see any advantage in having 2 (or more) persons involved in the migration. (probably when they are at the same terminal, like with XP, then there might be a benefit)
Let's do it mid-September then, when I'm in Graz. ;)
sounds like a good idea. so anybody who wants to join the migration from cvs to svn should come to graz in september ;-)
