[Koha-devel] move to savannah

[Anthony Youngman]

I could be (probably am) well off the mark, but hasn't arch "gone quiet"
for a while?

If you do consider a new tool, look very seriously at git/cogito. The
reason for saying that is that git is the source database, while cogito
is (one of) the user front end for manipulating the database.

Again, there were comments that arch might well move to using git as its
back end. The point being, if you do go down that route, then some
people can use cogito, others will use arch, svn might add git as a back
end ... everybody can choose their own preferred source control front
end, but the back end is shared across them all.

Cheers,
Wol

If we are going to change version control, please move koha to a
distributed system like arch or darcs. 

The benefits of svn over cvs are minimal for a fairly mature
project, the tools are far larger (like 5 times the size),
it still has the single central server point of failure and
if we want to upgrade later, there are fewer tools to upgrade
from svn than cvs. Finally, it seems not GPL-compatible.

My savannah username is "slef". Please may I have write access to
the new CVS? I will work on the new installer again in a week or so.

Best wishes,
