Hi there, As some of you might remember, I posted a proposal how to use subversion for port maintenance: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/clc-devel/2004-December/000730.html I was thinking about setting up a subversion ports repo at berlios (since the clc project already has a subversion repository there), but I'd like to check first whether there's any interest from other people. So please let me know whether you're interested in testing it. For those wondering about the reasons for this, here we go: - subversion has some advantages over CVS, which make it easier to work with (e.g. disconnected add/diff/revert) - subversion repositories can be published over http, which would solve the firewalling problem several people have with cvsup - several tools exist for distributed development (svk, submaster) or patch management (transsvn) As an addition, the script I wrote would allow to maintain "slave"-ports on other architectures, where changes from a main architecture can be merged as wanted. If there's any substantial interest, I'd volunteer to initialize the repository for x86, sparc and $TESTARCH (to allow everyone playing with multiple architectures).
