Subversion considers its futureSubversion considers its futurePosted May 2, 2008 13:39 UTC (Fri) by joib (guest, #8541)In reply to: Subversion considers its future by Tet Parent article: Subversion considers its future
There's still plenty of high profile FLOSS projects using SVN, and even CVS (!!). Gnome, KDE, inkscape, gimp, blender use SVN, openoffice.org uses CVS. Much of the toolchain (whose developers, if anything, should be the "alpha" geeks running headfirst into git, right?) use CVS (autotools, GDB, glibc, binutils) or SVN (GCC). Emacs is apparently converting from CVS to bzr. Given how widespread CVS still is years after SVN has been stable (and that is pretty close to a no-op upgrade for users), I don't hold much hope for any rapid migration to DVCS:es. Which is a bit sad, since IMHO mercurial and git are really good (I don't have experience with others so I'll refrain from commenting on them), but there's not much one can do about it.
