SVN Migration

• Repository reorganisation
  • We won't use cvs2svn to migrate but simply import the whole source into svn to have a clean start.
  • Lazarus gets it's own repository.
  • The following repositories are planned:
    • fpc
    • lazarus
    • contrib
    • projects
    • html
    • docs
  • another packages dir: packages/contrib with contains packages which are maintained externally. Something like the Delphi Companion CD. The long term goal is however to flatten the packages hierarchy (packages/base and packages/contrib?), work only with "build units/packages" in each directory. Making e.g. the fcl and fv a usual package as well.
  • Stuff in packages/contrib which isn't maintained actively anymore is moved to the contrib repository.
• In the first step only ssh based authentification will be possible.
• After everything is setup and working, a read-only cvs mirror will be installed.
• The SVN project is updated regularily and releases new versions, so it's necessary to have policy when to update the SVN server. The proposed policy is to keep up always with the latest stable svn version
