  • SVN on VMS

    I grabbed standard SVNKit:
    https://www.svnkit.com/com.tmatesoft.svn_1.10.13.standalone.nojna.zip

    I unzipped.

    I defined command:

    $ jsvn == "''java' -cp /disk2/arne/jsvn/lib/* org.tmatesoft.svn.cli.SVN"

    And it seems to work out of the box.

    (I have some problems with files created on Windows with CRLF end up on
    VMS with trailing CR's, but I am pretty sure that would be the same
    problem on Linux, so not a VMS problem)

    Linus Torvalds said <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8> in
    his Google Tech Talk on Git (transcript <https://gist.github.com/dukeofgaming/2150263>):

    When I say I hate CVS with a passion, I have to also say that if
    there any SVN users (Subversion users) in the audience, you might
    want to leave. Because my hatred of CVS has meant that I see
    Subversion as being the most pointless project ever started,
    because the whole slogan for the Subversion for a while was 'CVS
    done right' or something like that. And if you start with that
    kind of slogan, there is nowhere you can go. It's like, there is
    no way to do CVS right.
