Converting to Subversion
We are finally going to do the long talked about conversion to
Subversion. I expect this conversion to take place tomorrow or the
next day. When the conversion happens the Apache infrastructure team
will lock down (convert to read-only) our cvs repository and create the
new Subversion repository. The existing incubator-geronimo repository
will always be available, but all new development will happen in the
Subversion repository.
The Subversion website can be found here:
http://subversion.tigris.org
There are several downloads available from the Subversion website,
including RPMs for Linux and executables for Windows. Back when we
first discussed this, I among others raised concerns about Subversion
on Mac OS X. This is no longer a problem. There are binaries available
via Fink for OS X and I have been using it for a few days now.
Finally, the Subversion project has a superb *free* book available
"Version Control with Subversion" online
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/). This book is published by O'Reilly
Media and is available in paperback from most book stores.
If you have any problems using Subversion, you can post to this list,
but we recommend that you join the users@subversion.tigris.org mailing
list, and read the Subversion Book and FAQ
(http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html). You can also ask
questions about Subversion on IRC at irc.freenode.net, channel #svn.
Cheers,
