similar to: [LLVMdev] Version Control

LLVMers, The oversight group has been kicking around the idea of getting a better version control system than CVS. The problem is, we're not quite sure what "better" means. So, we thought we'd ask your opinions. If you're interested in this topic (and you should be if you're actively developing), please have a look at this site:

I think before we begin discussing which software to use, we should discuss what is really wrong with CVS (on a day to

Hi all, My 2 cents as well: Here where I work (The MathWorks), we have hundreds of developers. We use CVS but we've had to write several thousand lines of Perl to make it useful to us (through revisions, branching, testing, and integration). Mercifully, we're planning on going to another system. In short, CVS doesn't scale well. It also doesn't having good branching capabilities

John, Here's my list: 1. CVS is slow. Many of the other tools do bi-directional binary deltas on file changes they are transmitting. This is basically the technology that makes rsync so fast. CVS doesn't do this. Probably not a big deal when you're working at UIUC but its CRUCIAL when I'm on the road working from a hotel or airport wi-fi connection. 2. Related to 1 is diff

Dear LLVMers, There was a campus wide power outage today at the University of Illinois. It took down most (if not all) computing services, including the LLVM web/subversion server and the mailing list server. Power has since been restored, and it appears that our IT department has gotten the LLVM web and SVN server operating again (I went in earlier this evening to see if the LLVM server

I can't switch to clang on my project until it can handle boost headers.

LLVMers, I will be creating the 2.3 release branch today at 9PM PDT. During that time, commit access to SVN will be forbidden. I will send out mail shortly before the branch creation, and once it has been completed. Thanks, Tanya

Hello fellow LLVMers and Clangstas, We want to make Clang great, and we need your help! Helping is easy: just build Clang on your platform and start using it as your main compiler for LLVM and Clang development. Much of the Clang team has been living on Clang for at least several weeks already, and we've found it to be quite stable for development. If you run into problems---poor

LLVMers, The LLVM Oversight group is trying to assess whether there is sufficient interest in the LLVM development community for holding an LLVM Conference next summer. If getting together with your fellow LLVM Developers sounds interesting to you, please respond to me (off list) and I'll summarize the results. Here's our current thinking: * Venue: West Coast, USA. Probably either San

Hi Tanya, I do not really understand this strict rule :-) While I get it

Hi I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid. Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve constructed this pair of sample files: 18> ~/Desktop/heckle_test % cat

Gabor As someone trying to the rest of my team using Subversion (which I have used for a while, but more as a backup / record of changes), have you a neat / automated way of building a package from a subversion repository?

I just burned 3 hours figuring out Subversion, so I made up a little quickstart guide. Try the guide and see if you can get version control going in ... say ... 30 minutes? I assume your situation is: You are setting up version control on a new subdirectory on your computer. You will copy your entire rails project directory tree into the new subdirectory after you get subversion running.

Hello LLVMers (in particular, LLVMers interested in GSoC), Since people seem interested in GSoC project ideas, here is one that might not be totally obvious -- work on LLVM's testing infrastructure! :) I have been working hard on modernizing our nightly test performance monitoring software, but there is a lot more work to be done. As LLVM developers, we rely on this software for tracking
