The conversion finished today. This does not affect gdb. At present gdb, binutils, newlib, and cygwin share a single CVS repository. gcc is in a subversion repository. This does affect anybody using the uberbaum pseudo-repository; if you don't know what that is, don't ask. It would be simpler for the sourceware.org overseers (including myself) if every project converted to subversion. And subversion does have some advantages over CVS. But really each project is going to have to decide for itself whether to switch or not. (If you want to switch to something other than CVS or subversion, you will have to be prepared to convince the overseers to do whatever management is required by whatever new system is chosen. Daniel Berlin went through that process for subversion for gcc.) Hope this helps. Ian
