SourceForge to Offer Subversion Service

Sourceforge has announced that the work is under way to offer Subversion as a service on the site.

An excerpt from the strategic projects document follows:

Subversion Service: The research, analysis, and support gear-up needed to implement a Subversion service at SourceForge.net is now in progress. As with all SourceForge.net services, extensive analysis and testing must be performed to verify suitable levels of stability and scalability before a service can be rolled-out.

Pending successful scalability testing, service details will be finalized and service will be offered to all projects. (Last updated: 2005-03-02 Pacific)

I think you have been mislead. Sourceforge has taken away all references to Subversion on the page you refer to, and they refuse to answer any questions about when it will be available. Given how easy this ought to be for them to put in place, and the fact that they supposedly started this at least 9 months ago, it looks like they have no intention whatsoever to implement Subversion. It’s definitely time to give Sourceforge the kiss-off.

Apparently this project is back on again, and Subversion on SourceForge is in beta
