Hallo Russell !
I really don't intend to start a SCM war here, but has the discussion of switching to using svn on sourceforge instead of cvs ever come up before?
This was discussed many many times before and at the pd-convention it was decided to switch to SVN.
i would rather say: it was decided that if somebody volunteers to do the work, nobody will object.
i volunteered to do the work. after fruitless discussions, i decided to not push the switch any more. (though i still would like to work with subversion)
the main counter-argument against svn was, that everything that cannot be done with CVS was considered as "experimental" and "should not be used", in which case i don't see a reason to do the work.
So yes, this will be done AFAIR.
or rather, no, it won't be done AFAIK.
i am currently thinking of starting an svn-repository in parallel to the CVS-repository (both at sourceforge) and whoever wants to move over should just do it, and leave a notice in the CVS, that the content has moved.
