<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">COIN-OR ported from cvs to svn recently. I think the port went smoothly. It seems to be a worthwhile change, with one caveat.</font> <br> <br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There is a new concept in svn called "properties". It can be difficult to understand and manage, IMHO. (I've been bitten a few times.) Properties are "ant-like", so like ant, once set they are not overwritten. Anytime you feel like an update didn't take effect then you suspect a properties problem. The issue arises when you don't get that feeling, updates did take effect, and have created bugs you can't detect until you update your properties :-(. </font> <br> <br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Properties are used for project dependencies, among other things. This means that with svn it is even more important to perform a "new user download and build" test. Your properties settings might block you from seeing a bug in the default dependencies.</font> <br> <br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">COIN-OR has some project manager info and tips on https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/wiki/pm-main</font> <br> <br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Alan</font> <br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br> Alan King<br> Math Sciences<br> IBM Thomas J Watson Research Center<br> 914-945-1236<br> http://www.research.ibm.com/people/k/kingaj/</font> <br> <br> <br> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%><font size=1 face="sans-serif"><b>Luigi Ballabio <lui...@gm...></b> </font> <br><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Sent by: qua...@li...</font> <p><font size=1 face="sans-serif">03/20/2007 07:48 AM</font> <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">To</font></div> <td><font size=1 face="sans-serif">QuantLib developers <qua...@li...></font> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">cc</font></div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Subject</font></div> <td><font size=1 face="sans-serif">[Quantlib-dev] Subversion</font></table> <br> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> <br></table> <br> <br> <br><tt><font size=2><br> Hi all,<br> we're thinking of moving the QuantLib repository from CVS to Subversion<br> shortly.
