Surely there must be an ISP out there that is Python friendly and would offer a significant discount.. and is that with or without considering the typical compression (-z3 is normal, I guess)? >> The issue is providing timely service: what if the system runs out of >> memory, gets cracked by a hacker, a new committer needs to be added, >> the sendmail installation gets stuck because some commit messages >> cannot >> be delivered to some recipient, and so on. >> >> Such a system needs permanent hand-holding.

Update and diff are much faster, and you can view the repository or do an export with wget if you have to (assuming Subversion+Apache). Also the efficiency of copying/moving things around makes life easier, especially for Mac stuff because there tends to be a lot more directories. We have just recently moved PyObjC from Sourceforge CVS to a Subversion server and the grass is definitely greener. -bob -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
