Re: [Koha-devel] [URGENT] Move away from Savannah/CVS

[Kyle Hall]

I can't remember where I read it, but I just pulled this from the wikipedia page:
Subversion is an open source application for 
revision control. Also commonly referred to as svn or SVN, Subversion is designed specifically to be a modern replacement for 
CVS and shares a number of the same key developers.

I may be wrong, as could the wikipedia page. But I've read it in multiple places. Sorry I can't cite my sources better ; )

Sorry to doubt, but how do you figure that?

I see the CVS Authors list:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/cvs/ccvs/AUTHORS?view=auto
and the SVN committers list:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/COMMITTERS
and didn't find any overlap among the core.


By coincidence, Google's profiting from personal data and the privacy
implications was a featured item on yesterday's Newsnight on BBC TV.

Personally, I'm a bit concerned that moving koha.org to the US puts
too many of our eggs under one government's foot (excuse the mixed
metaphor), even without requiring developers to deal with the more
malleable Google instead of FSF.

Hope that explains,
