Hello all, What is the expected future of the 3.0 branch? Will a 3.0.2 release be done one day? Is there any point in backporting bug fixes there? Regards Antoine.

help with svnmerge
by Jesus Cea March 10, 2009

March 10, 2009

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I committed r70197 to trunk a few days ago. Today I copied "svnmerge.py" in my 2.6 branch, and did an "init" and a "merge"... like it is said in the developer FAQ. I got a lot of conflicts and "old patches" merged. Overhelming. So... Can anybody please merge r70197 to 2.6 branch? Can somebody explain how to do a correct svnmerge and, possibly, update http://www.python.org/dev/faq/#how-do-i-merge-between-branches ? Sorry for this inconvenience. I promise to learn the lessons you teach me. PS: I know how to merge using pure SVN and Mercurial...

Re: [python-committers] Survey about DVCSs compared to svn
by Fredrik Lundh March 10, 2009

Btw, one of my concerns is that a move away from Svn breaks the process for people who pull sources from Svn to build their own Pythons. I know a few teams that do that, and switching to another system isn't just an apt-get away for them. Do we have enough log info to be able to determine how common it is that people pull down source kits using Svn? </F> On Feb 28, 2009 1:11 AM, <jnoller(a)gmail.com> wrote: The survey isn't biased. You have a value "the same /worse than the status quo" - wherein the status quo is subversion. If you hate DVCes, you mark it as "same/worse than the status quo" and we move on. No one is suggesting we accept *less* functionality than subversion: in fact we're looking at these for *more* functionality.

Survey about DVCSs compared to svn
by Brett Cannon March 4, 2009

March 4, 2009

To see if people actually want to switch off of svn to a DVCS, I have put together a survey for everyone to state for each DVCS if they think it is better, worse, or equal to svn (and an option to not say anything if you have no experience with the DVCS): http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cDVkUElEeEM5MGdBa29fcFZoU1Y….. The survey is not anonymous so that I can make sure no one games this; I can check for duplicate usernames in the answers. But I will not give out any information beyond aggregate data, so identifiable information stops at me. I plan to keep this open for a week before I begin to seriously look at the data. -Brett
