FAQ

Are we really going to change from source-safe to subversion? Yes, after a lot of propositions and debating with the main developers at Maretec and Hidromod, we opted to make the switch from source-safe to subversion.

Why? Because source-safe has some limitations that prevent a better development and maintenance of the MOHID code.

What are the implications? The users of source-safe will have to install a subversion client in their computers and configure it in order to access the new subversion repository of the MOHID code. So, basically, it's a new interface to get the latest version of the code.

What are the other implications? Developers will have to use the subversion client to perform standard source-safe actions like check-out, check-in, diff, merge, roll-back and branching.
