KDE Switches to Subversion

Posted by timothy on from the next-generation dept.

Michael Pyne writes "It's official, after weeks of preparation, KDE has completed switching their source control repository from CVS to Subversion. KDE is one of the largest software projects to make the switch, and is the first major desktop environment to do so. Some of the goodies that CVS users are used to are still in the process of being switched over (including WebSVN), but everything seems to be working well so far." (The announcement of early April is no longer the operative statement.)

    Phear my cool GNOME CVS desktop. Look at that top current Screnshot that I've taken. The Toolbars went through huge usability studies by experts. It's clean, consistent and integrates perfectly, this is the most clean desktop amongst them all.

    Ok after I ended consistant puking let's use something better, something with serious future.

    Oh by the way have another look here:

    Edd Dumbill, valuable member and developer of the GNOME Desktop Environment, author of the "Mono: A Developer's Notebook" book, speaks up his mind about GNOME in one of his recent blog entries.

    Mikael Hallendahl, valuable member and developer of the GNOME Desktop Environment speaks out his mind upon GNOME and if there is a possible future.

    There are even other key GNOME people who think about stopping the work on their products. Read what Damien Sandras (author of GnomeMeeting) has to say.
