[Demexp-dev] Possible switch from CVS to GNU Arch

[David MENTRE]

[ After founding the right mailing list... (fred will understand) ]

Hello,

For demexp development, I'm seriously considering switching from CVS to
GNU Arch (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/).

Pros:
 - excellent support for renaming, handling of patchset, etc.
 - excellent support for branches
 - support of non-centralized trees
 - apparently well maintained

Cons:
 - not available as debian package in woody (isa impacted, however it
   can be compiled from sources)
 - no windows port (windows port of demexp)
 - not tested yet (I've just read the docs ;)


In any case, if I switch to Arch, I won't force other demexp developers
to also switch to Arch. I'll update the CVS tree on a regular basis. We
should also do regular snaposhots of the development tree. 

Any opinion ? Any news ?

Yours,
d.
