[kepler-dev] kepler sources within subversion

[Matthew Jones]

Unni,

We do not distribute the sources ourselves that way, but you can easily 
get a copy of the source without the CVS directories (I don't know what 
.cvs is, its not a file cvs uses) by running a "cvs export" command, 
which creates a copy of the source without the version control 
information.  However, I'm not sure how this will really help with your 
synchronization issues.

As a side note, we will be moving Kepler (and all of our supported 
projects) to subversion in the relatively near future.  I am currently 
testing a new subversion system with a small group, and we will be 
rolling out the full changeover to subversion to the several hundred 
people with CVS accounts once we have all of the needed infrastructure 
set up and tested.  No guarantees on schedule, though.  One advantage 
you'll see is the ability to use subversions replication feature with 
your local SVN repository.
