There's more to it than just converting the repo from CVS to SVN - the "official" distribution and build systems have to be converted as well. The official build system for RELENG_8 remains CVS and (AFAIK) the "official" repo distribution system remains CVS-based (csup/cvsup) because there's no suitable SVN-based equivalent. IMHO, if those issues can be resolved in the near future then it might be possible to deprecate CVS before 9.1 and remove it in 10 but I suspect removal in 11 is a more realistic timeframe. >Those who still use it for development can install ports/devel/opencvs >(like all the src/ developers do for ports/devel/subversion/). Agreed. >In my opinion it is just another piece of bitrot that resides in the >base system for no real reasons. You are, of course, welcome to your opinion.
