Speaking as one of those using Windows primarily for reasons of work and games. I will note that I only care that tools are available for Windows users. CMD line or otherwise I don't care if they are GUI. If there are tons of switches, then I can make batch files with the switches preseelcted. As long as there are tools that run Windows, then I don't care. I only would like something to be selected so I can go about learning it. Whatever we pick, I plan on making my co-workers learn it so we can control our inhouse administative scripts at work and avoid learning more. As I am lazy, I plan on learning only one of them :). -sp ________________________________ From: development-bounces@drupal.org on behalf of Gordon Heydon Sent: Fri 11/18/2005 6:12 PM To: development@drupal.org Subject: Re: [development] SCM idea Hi, On Sat, 2005-11-19 at 00:15 +0100, Bèr Kessels wrote:

What if we set up a parallel contributions repository using a different SCM which we would optionally put our modules in? If a few of the large contrib projects moved we could get a good idea of how well it works without risking productivity on core.
This of course would be horribly technically complex since the cvs module and release scripts would have to deal with two systems in parallel.
Gordon and others interested in Darcs:
I am very willing to help you with work on darcs. Antyhing that needs to be done now, in order to get some contribs into a repository? Can we use Gordons server or should I set one up myself?
I could set up the contrib repository if you want. and I am happy to have darcs running on my web site. The only thing is that the web front end sometime gets killed by the dreamhost house keeping because darcs is a little cpu hungry sometimes.
Most notably id like to see the development of the files stuff get in there, that is a big project ,with in future (hopefully?) a few developers working on one base.
This can all be done, I am just not really up to speed on what happens on the backend for the current drupal cvs setup. But because every darcs repository is a working system then we could actually have with very little work a automated test suite that gets run after every commit. Not exactly sure if we could do this this contrib, but it could be done. Gordon.

Darcs has a couple of windows versions. One which requires cygwin and one that doesn't. I have at a client site the darcsweb running on windows under IIS. This works great. I do not think bzr has a windows verison, but personally I have found the bzr/arch way of doing things hurts my head. Gordon.

There is native and cygwin too. http://bazaar.canonical.com I think you should drop into irc and have a chat with jblack over those headaches. Regards NK

It has been a while since I looked. I know that I looked after the talk from Martin Pool at lca, but I there was only version 1 which was the python version.

I might do that some time. Gordon.
