CVS is old and there are lots of newer and better SCMs out there ;-). SSH with pubkey authentication is encouraged because it's much more convenient, more secure and easy to set up.
Yes, that's right. But CVS is easy to install, even on old server hardware. SVN needs Apache2 and WebDAV and Bazaar is written in Python.
That isn't true. Subversion does NOT need Apache and webdav. You can run it also via SSH (svn+ssh://...) or directly via svnserve (svn://...).
Hm. For me the main reason is, that CVS is the default either in our company (for hundreds of years now ;-)), and all of my stuff at sourceforge or berlios uses CVS.
Sure. I didn't mean you have to use anything else but at least should consider it. And the problem itself also exists when using subversion with SSH and without pubkey authentication. So, the easiest solution would be to setup pubkey authentication which is more secure and much more convenient (no password typing at all).
- one last thing for now ;-) My old Laptop has a screen resolution of 1024x768. It would be great to have icons instead of text as lables
for the tabs of the sidebar.
Any ideas for icons to be used?
The hardest job of the world. ;-)
The "silk icons" are a good source of icons or ideas. (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/)
Thanks. Alternatively, what do you think about the idea of shortened labels suggested by Jeff. I would prefer this over icons because it would work always. Icons tend to be installed in the wrong place, conflict with the user's icon theme or whatever ;-).
