Hi,
Please consider Subversion as a replacement to CVS.
Subversion was started by a team of developers who had worked on CVS to fix all of the CVS "wrinkles".
Directories and files are versionable objects in subversion. It supports atomic commits and changesets. Subversion
uses an efficient database model to branch and merge files, which is faster and less painful than in CVS.
See "Pragmatic Version Control using Subversion" by Mike Mason, 2005, ISBN 0-9745140-6-3
Thanks,
Gerold

Hi,
Two branches or two directories/modules?
My R$0,02:
I think it depends on your long-term goals. GnuSpeech is a very
interesting project. You may expect sub-projects in the future, like a
GnuSpeech server ("Real-time Monet"). How about developing it in the
next Google Summer of Code? There could be versions in ObjC, C, C++ or
even Java.
Great idea. I'll have to look into that carefully
Another possibility is a rewrite in C++/Qt (example). And don't forget
that GnuSpeech may be modified/expanded. This could be in an
"experimental" directory.
A C++ rewrite is probably not on because of the heavy dependence on
the interface stuff, but Real-time Monet (a,k,a the TextToSpeech
Server) could probably be done in a variety of languages
In other words, I think you may need more than two directories/
modules.
Thanks. Fair comment.
But if you are talking about two branches, that's another thing.
I'm feeling my way on this, really. I am definitely concerned about
having multiple sets of source code for the same tasks all needing to
be kept up-to-date. I'd really like to see a GNUStep version of the
TTS Server running and it ought easily to run on the Mac too if the
audio back end can be sorted out in a reasonably platform independent
way.
Is there a good source of information on these kinds of issues? CVS
does seem to have some disadvantages, but maybe that's because I
don't know CVS as well as I should. I have Fogel & Bar "Open Source
Development with CVS" (2nd edition).
Dalmazio wrote about a month ago saying:
Also, have you considered registering your text-to-speech project
with SourceForge.net? All the software on this site is free and
open-source software, with usually some flavour of the GNU
license, and it gets a *lot* of visibility. Just doing a search on
'speech synthesis' for example shows a dozen or so open-source
projects related to speech synthesis. But perhaps it would be too
much work to maintain two separate sites for this.
which also seems worth considering and might get some more people
interested & involved.
All good wishes.

Cheers!
