Hi Slan.

Sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is David Coallier (PEAR President) :) Slan is a greeting in Irish.

Slan David! and apologies.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that you hate so much about CVS or that you can't do with it for hosting a package?

Nope, I didn't mean to say that I hate it that much but somehow I feel that developers are moving towards subversion and leaving cvs behind so I kind of want to stick to that.

Fair enough, but migrating a project is easy enough, for now you shouldn't be too concerned about the technology behind your code hosting if you have no peticular reasons of holding a grudge or not liking a certain software. CVS has been proven to work fine but yes, most people are moving to SVN, GIT so are we with PEAR2.

Yeah, I was thinking that maybe PEAR2 should use git instead since it allows multiple branching and I feel that that somehow could speed up development! I think is nice that PEAR2 will be mounted on SVN!

We have svn hosting at http://svn.pear.php.net

I didn't know about this svn repo, what is it for?

It's the official SVN repository for PEAR2. You can email Joshua Eichorn to request some access but for now, File_CSV has a lot to offer and is in CVS. To be honest CVS is a bit slow but a very solid product. No wonder why so many open source projects used/are still using it. Hope this helps you a bit :)

how about "File_CSV_Reader" ? thanks for the info on the svn!
