SV: [plcs] SV: PLCSlib CVS or Subversion (UNCLASSIFIED)

[<mats.nilsson@fmv.se>]

All,

Sounds like moving to SVN is a pain free and good idea (thanks for the information and the link).
Still not sure what I need to do on the client side, but I'm sure you'll assist me and the rest of us in the process.

Regards,
  Mats

> LOGSA has used both CVS and SubVersion (SVN).  Here is our opinions.  CVS
> was Old tech in 1999.  It is even older now.  While it is functional, it is
> not user friendly and has limited capability.  SVN is much more user
> friendly, and has greater capabilities.  To any developer user, it is a
> welcomed improvement over CVS.  Migration from CVS to SVN was only
> about a
> 30 minute process.  We have used SVN for about 7 years.  LOGSA still uses it
> in some processes.
> 
> Our Java development teams, no longer use SVN instead they prefer to use
> Git
> or Mercurial.  There are clear advantages for remote users with these tools.
> Mercurial is highly capable, but with greater capability comes additional
> complexity.
