10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

Moving from CVS to SVN at java.net

I like java.net. Ever since I moved AppFuse to java.net from SourceForge (in February 2004), I've been very happy with their service. I can't recall having an issue with CVS, and if I did, it was during a scheduled outage. The only thing that's ever made me consider moving AppFuse to another site was java.net's lack of Subversion.

A lot has changed in the last year, and now java.net does support Subversion. However, if you want a project converted from CVS to SVN, you have three options:

  • Drop and re-create your project, losing all of your mailing-list/forum history
  • Create an entirely new project, which gives you similar results to the first option
  • Pay to have your repository converted

Since I like being at java.net (uptime being the major factor here), I've decided to go with option #3. It's costing $750 to convert AppFuse from CVS to SVN, and Virtuas has agreed to sponsor the move. I like that we'll be using SVN soon, but it does seem odd that we actually have to pay for it. AFAIK, moving a SourceForge project from CVS to SVN doesn't cost anything.

In recent days, I've thought about moving AppFuse to Google Code, but it looks like they might be having some early growing pains.
