Hi Guys,
What are your feelings on switching the CVS repositories on
sources.redhat.com over to subversion ?
I see that GCC is switching over to it, so presumably there are good
reasons for doing so. At the moment however I am only just beginning to
learn how to use this tool, so I do not really know what is capable of
or whether it really is worth replacing CVS with it.
Cheers
Nick

I think it sounds good to us. It will be simpler if we have to
support only subversion, not CVS also.

That is your decision. It made sense for the gcc developers.

That seems fair. I certainly have no objections to switching over - I
just have to learn how to use Subversion, which I think will be a useful
skill to glean anyway.
Is there a proposed plan for changing over or a timetable ?
Cheers

Not from the overseers side. It's really entirely up to the
individual project maintainers.
It would probably be appropriate for their to be some coordination
among the projects who share the src repository (binutils, gdb,
cygwin, newlib).

Absolutely. I'd like everyone to change at once. Two things to note:
- Some of the GDB developers seem opposed. I'm not real clear on
why.
- It might be nice to convert each project into its own svn
repository, and make use of svn:externals. I'm not sure if it's
adequately flexible though.
The likely problem is that checking out less than the whole repository
in Subversion is much more awkward. I don't want to have to check out
sid to build binutils. Someone who cares about making the switch needs
to sit down and play with the options.

No, svn:externals won't be a good fix for this problem; one is still
needed.

Implementing relative externals
<http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1336> would probably
be necessary for svn:externals to be usable for this. 1167, 937 and 1258
might be needed as well.
