It took 2+ years to get a public-facing secure server with SVN installed

and configured. My management are now convinced about the use of

SVN+Trac for projects here at APS, and they are happy to make the

infrastructure available for use by the EPICS community. Subversion is

now mature technology, is available on all our platforms and works well

as a centralized VCS.

Bazaar is being developed and used by the Ubuntu Linux project (Mark

Shuttleworth writes about it occasionally in his Blog), and while there

may be questions about its current requirements, this shouldn't be a

problem for long. If future development on it does stop for some

reason, we won't have to take any emergency action since we still have

the SVN base to fall back on.
