Irrlicht source (and git)

[anylo]

Hi,
is the repository still located in SourceForge? http://irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/irrlicht/

[CuteAlien]

Yes, still correct. It seems the link to the sourceforge page got lost on homepage refactoring, I hope it will be added again soon.

And the latest update to trunk happened 15 months ago?

It seems that I might have something wrong with my eyes.

Has there been any discussion about switching to some another SCM?

[zerochen]

well, then i make a site called whyissvnmuchbetterthanx.com and we changed back?

also already talked about it
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... it=svn+git

SCM? Irrlicht uses subversion and done... NOT git, cant stand it. (Just my opinion)

Please do give couple of pointers why svn is better than git.

Oh, missed that thread. IMHO svn is good, git is great, git + github/gitorious is pure AWESOMENESS (from from the developer and the community point of view).

Well, sf.net offers git too nowadays, that's changed since the old thread.

Still hate git... its just bloatware and all I need and want is S - V - N! (Period!)

I actually prefer Git because it means every user to maintains own branch/fork then pushes the code back to online repositories, this encourages everyone to contribute as there's no real boundary between "official" developers and the rest of the community.

It's not so good for Windows users as TortoiseGIT isn't as mature as TortoiseSVN. Also Hybrid dislikes it due to having bad experiences with it, so unfortunately no chance of a move to Git in the near future

Just to be clear, I have no issue with irr using svn - my issue is that the irr devs have not decided on one line ending format, and so have locked themselves in.

By relying on svn magic, they are unable to accept standard patches from anywhere else. Be it manual diff, git, bzr, mercurial, whatever. This is more work for one or the other side, hardly an ideal position.

Bloatware? Hardly.

I just converted https://irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/irrlicht repository (2Gb) to git repository (146 Mb).

And that's really hard to explain someone who doesn't grasp the concept. There's plenty of (workflow) tutorials in YouTube like this one.

.. but the command line version works like a charm. I personally use Eclipse (both Windows and Ubuntu) with EGit.

That can happen to novice users

I dislike GIT because of this certain thing, because it confuses me.
Personally i never met a case where SVN would wasn't good to use (that is why i don't look for some new tool if current one doesn't give me a reason).
