Subversion 1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the milestone dept.

Phil John writes "Subversion 1.0 has finally been released. The people who maintain CVS have given us a viable replacement for our de-facto (and aged) versioning system. If you're new to Subversion its feature list looks like fixes for everything that is wrong in CVS, renaming, directory structure and metadata version tracking, file deletion, proper management of binary files and it's pretty portable to boot." According to the download page, binaries may take a few days to appear.

    Subversion overall looks very nice. However, I do have some issues with it. Namely, it's released under the Apache/BSD license, which I'm not completely comfortable with.

    Does anybody know of any project like this released under the GPL?

    CVS is outmoded.. you can find more information on how to migrate away from the aging system. You just have to look for it.

    Just exactly how is this news? GNU Arch has been out for a far longer period and does all that subversion does -- and more (distributed repositories, signed changesets) -- with less crap required to get going (no Apache, no WebDAV).

    Use TLA dofus!

    More extensible? Bah!

    Look at Arch. You can access your repository via WebDAV (and thus apache -- this time without any extra modules), or sftp, or ftp, or raw filesystem access, and adding more is as simple as adding a new backend to the pfs layer. I'm not sure how depending on WebDAV + a svn module for your server is supposed to be _more_ extensible.

    Don't spit on BASIC. Without it there wouldn't be a BIOS (BASIC Input Output System) and then you wouldn't be able to boot your computer. Without your computer you wouldn't get karma on slashdot, which is the ultimate goal and the reason for being on this planet.
