Re: [Geomview-devel] [geomview-users] Sourceforge cvs support for geomview ending 30 Nov 2017

[Lloyd W. <llo...@ya...>]

As Sourceforge CVS stops allowing commits and goes read-only for some indefinite time, I've made copies
of everything we have in CVS as tarballs under
http://www.geomview.org/dev

(This also buys more time for cvs2svn conversion, which is a nice idea in theory, but which I can't make work.)

cheers

While saying that github can host active geomview development,
there's a bunch of other dormant little things in geomview cvs - 
maniview, orrery, gv1-modules, the fabled gv2.

sourceforge isn't guaranteeing the longevity of read-only
cvs, so worth also copying everything over to svn via e.g. a cvs2svn
import for longevity/archival?

Okay, it looks like Mark bringing

https://github.com/geomview

up to date, then sticking a note in the sourceforge CVS that github
is where any current development is at, and my then
updating various geomview webpage pointers would be
the approach to take.

thanks

Sorry, being buried in my every day's job activities I will not be able
to help much, unfortunately. For practical reasons I would vote for
github if I had a vote.

Kind thanks for your efforts to keep Geomview alive!
