No, I'm really not trying to re-ignite the "should we move to p4/svn/arch/...?" war, I'm simply saying it might be best to decide here and now that should any SCM transition ever occur, it should only be when the bang-for-buck factor reaches some significant threshold over what's currently available now. - Jordan On Dec 7, 2004, at 2:04 PM, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Tue, Dec 07, 2004 at 08:58:27PM +0100, Miguel Mendez wrote: >> Hi hackers, >> >> I've seen the OpenBSD guys have come up with a BSD-licensed CVS[1] >> that >> should be focused on security as well as features.
