If you're thinking of creating a source repo, take a look at subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/ It's not quite ready yet, but it should be in a couple months, and it's far superior to CVS. As nifty as the dump fs is, there are some things it doesn't provide that a large development team needs in the software development process. Of course, maybe the idea is to rethink the development process. My thought is that something like subversion that utilizes the ideas of plan9 would be a powerful and useful development tool. -- Christopher Nielsen - Metal-wielding pyro techie cnielsen@pobox.com "Those who are willing to trade freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security." --Benjamin Franklin
