Hi,
I think I can conclude my attempt to use subversion as
____ __ __ _ _ ____ _ _ ____ _ __ ____
/ ___| \ \ / / | \ | | / ___| | | | | / ___| | |/ / / ___|
\___ \ \ \ / / | \| | \___ \ | | | | | | | ' / \___ \
___) | \ V / | |\ | ___) | | |_| | | |___ | . \ ___) |
|____/ \_/ |_| \_| |____/ \___/ \____| |_|\_\ |____/
(SUBVERSION SUCKS)
First of all, checking out parrot using subversion takes at least 4
time slonger than CVS
Doing a vendor checkin brining up parrot to latest version is a major
pain the arse. The process alone of running svn_load_dirs takes around
an hour, and then I have to tag it (because if you tell svn_load_dirs
to tag things automatically it breaks). It also seems not to have
changed some stuff when other stuff has changed!
(http://svn.perl.org/ponie/vendor/parrot/current/config/auto/gcc.pl is
one file that should have been updated).
Committing two files took 1 minute 22 second yesterday, a checkout is
extremely painfully slow. I am very close to saying it is a failed
experiment and either go to p4 or cvs for the time being.
A very angry Arthur who has spent far too much time battling an
substandard versioning system. (which might be theoretically very nice,
but does not scale)
ps. And off I go to try and do another merge of parrot!
