As for moving packages by hand vs. using a tool, that's not really infra's |
| 7 |
call. If you were asking about CVS vs. SVN, I have been and remain opposed |
| 8 |
to using SVN for gentoo-x86 until someone can offer a whole lot of |
| 9 |
assurances around SVN's ability to manage a repo of our size. (1.3GB, |
| 10 |
216,000+ files and counting) |

CVS may not be the new, shiny kid on the block, but it's been very stable, |
| 13 |
presented few problems and, in general, has served us well over the past 5+ |
| 14 |
years. Folks tend to point at the fancy bells and whistles that other |
| 15 |
VCS offer, but they don't always stop to consider the stability and |
| 16 |
scalability which are the most important characteristics by far. |
