That's what I was afraid I would hear. Recently, I was informed by SF.NET, that my account would be upgraded, and all the projects I have, which all use CVS, would be "upgraded" to SVN (which renders them useless). When I asked why, they told me because CVS was so old. To which I stated: Indeed, CVS is _quite_ old, and so is TCP/IP. Yet no one can seem live without it. Sigh... IM(NS)HO; SVN is an inferior RCS created so Windows users wouldn't feel left out. Are there _any_ CVS servers/trunks/tree's left? If so, how _current_ are they? Thanks again for taking the time to reply, Chris. All the best. --Chris > > Help is available for updating your scripts to use Subversion, please feel > free to ask. > > Chris >
