Subversion replaces CVS

[smite-meister]

From now on, the current souce code for Legacy 2.0 will be found in a Subversion repository at SourceForge.net
The old CVS repo will still be there, but there will be no more updates to it.

For you Windows people this means you'll have to replace TortoiseCVS with TortoiseSVN, Linux users can use the commandline Subversion client called svn.

Here's how you checkout the code:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/doomlegacy/legacy/trunk some_local_dir
Everything else works as before.

well guess this is great new for windows users, as tortoise CVS really sucks, while SVN is very friendly :P (IMO)

Yeah I agree the SVN version is less bloated and simpler to setup than the CVS version of Tortoise.
Why the change over Smite? wanting to start a fresh directory and what nots?

[smite-meister]

Mostly it's just that Subversion is better:)
Now the revision numbering is actually useful and tagging is easy, so we can use release tags, for example.
Also, I think sf.net will prioritize the Subversion service over the CVS one, so the SVN servers will most likely be faster.

Eclipse fans can use the Subclipse client. It is also quite nice, I hear.

The links have been updated on the wiki for anyone who uses the web based SVN client (http://doomlegacy.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/doomlegacy/legacy/trunk/?sortby=date) to monitor progress.
