I’ve got all the projects checked into CVS again in preparation for migrating away from Subversion. The latter is probably a good system, but I’ve had lots of trouble getting authorization to work and I don’t want to spend any more time on it. I know I can get CVS […]

Trying to keep up with the TechoJones, I put all my software projects under Subversion control. Unfortunately the authentication issues with Subversion keep getting in my way. I just tried to add a couple of files to a project and I find I don’t have write access. I used to […]
