I know, but it is much easier to build a (more or less) secure anonymous access to SVN. CVS gives a lot of headache in that area and no, chroot-jailing it is not a solution either. > I know that > Subversion is better than CVS in pretty much every way, and is the > heir apparent to the open source version control crown for that > reason, Indeed. It certainly is not the panaceum for all the possible CVS(- alike) problems. That's why there are other, which suit better some specific situations. That's why there is git for example. But it is still much better than CVS in most respects. > but you can set up anonymous readonly access to a CVS > repository with significantly less work than migrating the whole thing > to SVN. As I wrote - I know it is not trivial but most probably also not *that* difficult. Repository migration can be done easily. The problems (more creative work) might arise when converting the build scripts but I believe there is little (if any) functions of CVS that couldn't be covered with SVN tools. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Mon Mar 31 21:52:51 2008
