FreeBSD Begins Switch to Subversion

Posted by timothy on Wednesday June 4, 2008 @06:10AM from the subvert-the-dominant-paradigm dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The FreeBSD Project has begun the switch of its source code management system from CVS to Subversion. At this point in time, FreeBSD's developers are making changes to the base system in the Subversion repository. We have a replication system in place that exports our work to the legacy CVS tree on a continuous basis. People who are using our extensive CVS based distribution network (including anoncvs, CVSup, cvsweb, ftp) will not be interrupted by our work-in-progress. We are committed to maintaining the existing CVS based distribution system for at least the support lifetime of all existing 'stable' branches. Security and errata patches will continue to be made available in their usual CVS locations."

I haven't even bothered trying to mess with the nVidia driver -- generic vga displays just fine. Then again, I'm using WindowMaker and have no intention of messing with compiz. i tried it on mint, but it kept crashing... i don't even care if i'm wasting 512mb of video ram...

PC-BSD will auto-detect and install nvidia; it started the nvidia crap when i put up a livecd on my laptop the other day, but i didn't install it 'cause I don't want to fuss with removing all the KDE stuff.
