As a Subversion developer and a FreeBSD user, I'd love to see this happen some day. Subversion is designed for precisely this sort of thing, a version control system for a project that likes many things about CVS, but doesn't wish to deal with its many drawbacks. Unfortunately, at the moment, Suversion is far from mature enough for such a transition. Some day, perhaps even some day soon, but not quite yet. What I would suggest though, is that FreeBSD developers who are interested in the possibility of such a transition int he future should subscribe to the Subversion development list (see http://subversion.tigris.org/ for instructions on how to subscribe) and try to make sure that the features we're currently building into subversion will meet FreeBSD's needs in the future. There have already been some NetBSD and Apple developers on the lists, along with a few FreeBSD people giving us valuable feedback, and any additional FreeBSD people would be very welcome. -garrett -- garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from rooneg@electricjellyfish.net doing stupid things, because that would http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
