Everyone, We are at long last migrating the xiph.org source repository from to subversion. We've been wanting to do this for some years, but have been waiting for a conversion script that could deal with our creaky old cvs repository. Subversion, although perfectly usable for the past two years, recently announced a stable 1.0 release, and more importantly the major issues with the cvs2svn script seem to have been resolved. So, time to make the switch. Please hold commits this coming saturday, march 20 until the change over is made. Up to friday, commit to cvs as usual. I'll do a fresh conversion from cvs during the dead period and announce when commits can begin under svn. There's a test coversion of last week's cvs up at http://svn.xiph.org/ so you can try out the tools. Anonymous read-only access will be through webdav at the url above. Those of you with write access to cvs will also have it through ssh+svn://svn.xiph.org/svn/xiph/ More information about svn is available at http://subversion.tigris.org/ For those of you who are unfamiliar, svn is a new version control system, designed as a replacement for cvs. It uses the same conceptual model but the tools are considerably more heavyweight. Our motivation in switching is that it removes many of the annoying limitations that we've learned to live with in cvs. Commits are atomic rather than per-file, files and directories can be removed and renamed in a meaningful way, and binaries are handled gracefully. Using DAV for public access makes it much easier users to check out the code since web browsers and a number of file managers support access natively. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ has a useful quick start and overview for those familiar with cvs as well as the canonial reference documentation. Highly recommended. Repository layout: There are a couple of standard layouts. We'll start with project directories at the top level and see how that goes. Thanks everyone for your patience. -r P.S. Big crosspost here; please edit your reply destinations as appropriate. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'theora-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

The thing seems to work just fine over bog-standard HTTP, though. I'll see what Finder.app does when I next boot my Mac. -- Nathan --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Ok, I'm starting the conversion. Please hold all commits until further notice. -r --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'theora-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

I'm looking at doing the same soon with a ~800 file cvs repository I'm in charge of. /dale --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
