Re: [spaces-dev] SVN or CVS?

Now I'm really confused.

From a feature and ease of use standpoint, SVN is far superior to CVS. A vast amount of projects outside of Eclipse are moving away from CVS for that reason. We do not and will not develop software dependent on Subversive in any way. We just happen to keep it in an SVN repo hosted at Eclipse. Where and how does IP come into play here?

Are you saying that Eclipse projects should avoid keeping source in SVN repos in general? If so, on what do you base that?

Given that the Subversive project is the official Eclipse subversion interface and that the Subversive project makes use of some GPL code, which is a no-no, the Subversive project is currently held up in the Eclipse IP review. I suggest that we switch to working with CVS until the Subversive legal issues are resolved. Specifically, since the next thing we are working on is "Share...", we should Share to a CVS server for now.

Thoughts?
