Hi all -

RubyForge now supports Subversion! Yup, at long last, we've got all the
pieces in place so that you can use either CVS or Subversion for your
version control.

* You can see how it looks by poking around Curt Hibbs' RubyInstaller
project, which we converted over last week:

http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=167

* To get your project switched from CVS to Subversion, please put a
cvs-to-svn support request into the FIFO queue:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=102&group_id=5&func=browse

* To start up a new project with Subversion as the version control
system, just select it when you register the project.

* Undoubtedly there will be some "opportunities for improvement" as
folks convert over; as always, we appreciate your feedback and your
patience.

Thanks to Curt Hibbs for helping to troubleshoot this new feature!

Yours,

Tom Copeland

Excuse my ignorance, but what the benefit of switching a project from
CVS to Subversion?

Whoa, awesome.

Man, Tom, is it going to be possible for existing projects to
switch?

Subversion is sort of the heir apparent to CVS; when you use Subversion
you can delete files, rename files, move directories around, and all
sorts of things that are a bit painful with CVS. There are a bunch of
other thoughts on this listed here:

At last I can get rid of the scripts that publishmy subversion stuff to
the Rubyforge CVS.
Tom I guess you're going to be busy for a while :)

Heh, fortunately, Curt Hibbs let a few of his projects be the test
subjects, so now each conversion is done by a script and takes about 20
seconds. Good times!

Yours,

Tom

I think you just can use rsync to upload your local repositories. At
least that's how I do it on my site.

You can? Could you give more details by chance?

Thanks,

I don't know if Rubyforge actually supports rsync.
But you can just scp -r your workspace/branch into your project's
webspace if bandwidth is not a problem.
