Directory renaming

[Jerome Quelin]

Hi,

Would it be possible to rename the $PARROT/languages/Befunge-93
directory into $PARROT/languages/befunge ?
Indeed, as soon as parrot will support objects, I'll implement the
befunge 98 specs, and the same interpreter will be able to interpret 93
ou 98 befunge code...
I'm sorry, 'cause I know cvs does not handle very well directory
renaming.

Thanks,
Jerome

This seems to be a good idea. I'd commit it, except that it needs more
than commit access to move a directory with CVS. Who has enough shell
access to cvs.perl.org to do this? [assuming it does want to be done?]

That would be my job.

It's done.

Thank you.

Would it also be your job to do porting of subversion to VMS, so that we
could consider replacing CVS with something that lets clients do directory
moves? :-)

PS No I'm not serious about it being your job. But following a chat on IRC
it seems that the most obvious thing which immediately rules out subversion
for parrot purposes is that (currently) it would not seem to work on VMS.
More subtle reasons not to use it may become apparent if/when that one is
solved. Special VMS tuits ("TUITS" ?) appear to be even less common than
common-or-garden tuits.

Befunge better than perl? http://www.perl.org/advocacy/spoofathon/

Sadly, no. :)

But I can tell you that I am actively investigating the use of
subversion for future use on perl.org projects. We're starting to use
it for some of our web stuff, and generally liking it a lot. It still
has some rough edges, but when it's finished will be very very cool.

I know that Dan is a big VMS fan, and I know I'm opening a can of
worms by saying this, but VMS is at the bottom of the "Major Systems
we need to support" list. When subversion is ready, if VMS is the
only roadblock, then workarounds can be found for that platform.
