To run a subversion repository, you need much more infrastructure and more overhead (lots of dependencies from ports, probably a Web server, a database backend etc). Besides, cvs is conveniently integrated with Kerberos (we use :gserver: all the time) which I am not sure is possible with subversion. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
