Hi, Just a quick note: the TRUNK in the repository is broken at the moment and will likely remain broken for a day (two at the most, I hope). I am in the final stages of converting the pascal web code to C, and I needed to check the code in so I can continue working on it at the office. For Martin: don't bother running indent yet, I'll clean it up later. Best wishes, Taco

Is that a plea for a distributed version control system? At some point of time you might find it worth doing your checkouts with "git svn" and then working with git. One of the advantages is that you can perfectly well work offline (including working with all of the project history), and do that very efficiently. Another is that maintaining local branches (and moving them to another computer) is also quite painless. I've switched to using git for everything years ago, and "git svn" makes that quite transparent to other people when working with Subversion repositories. Except that systems like "Trac" sometimes display things in a somewhat mixed up if you make 5 commits in the same second... -- David Kastrup

I have been told by a few people already that I could set up a git in front of the subversion repository to act as a local frontend, but I never seem to manage to find the time to learn how to use git, not even for such 'trivial' use. Best wishes, Taco

Have you considered any possibly simpler but no less powerful alternatives (Bazaar, Mercurial, ...)? Personally, I've been using Bazaar for some time now and I'm pretty happy with it. Switching from svn was a breeze. And, as git, it can interoperate with a Subversion repository. Nicola PS: I would also suggest Redmine as an alternative to Trac...

Practically speaking, just the simple fact that there is a choice stops me from trying any of them. Anyway, even though something weird is still wrong with my arabic samples, TRUNK is more or less usable again. Best wishes, Taco
