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.)

    It's a shame there's no free windows source control projects out there, for open source software that runs on windows (which there is quite a lot). Subversion has a client, but no server.

    There's cvs but it's still pretty crappy , and the gotdotnet.com one which is very slow. All the enterprise source control software for windows is fairly good too, just way too expensive for private use.
