UseBB Community

Since 21 February, SourceForge.net, which we use for CVS and file releases, started offering Subversion hosting to all projects. Currently, we only use CVS for UseBB 0.x.

As Subversion has many advantages over CVS, it may be interesting to place UseBB 2 code, once 2.0.0 is released, on Subversion instead of CVS. On of the advantages listed by SF.net:
- Access over HTTPS
- No delays between developer and anonymous access
- Read-only rsync access
- Statistics (the CVS ones still don't work)
- Easier ACL settings over web-based interface (not available yet)
- etc.

Currently, there's a delay of several hours between dev and anon access, with Subversion this will be gone. Also, rsync can be used to easily fetch the sources.

The disadvantages are that it is slightly slower, people must have a Subversion client instead of a CVS one and (if UseBB 0.x is going to be moved), the commits mailing list and tarballs on SF.net will not work anymore.

Migrating the sources should be easy, so there's no problem with that. I still have to test everything though.

SVN was enabled for our project on SF: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=93103

I may test it out after the 1.0 release.

I like it better than CVS.

huh... i use svn for one year already. it much more better

CVS on SF.net is down since a few days.

I suggest migrating to Subversion after the release of 1.0.

Why not keep UseBB1 on CVS and UseBB2 on subversion ?
