Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] CVS support plugin discontinuation - SimRel build changes needed
|
Hi
I thought that Open Source was friendly; not a facilitator for a
proprietary business case.
The CVS deprecation was announced in September 2021. It announced
removal of the ongoing distribution, not refactoring and breakage.
My understanding of the disciplined deprecation was that two major
releases were required after an announcement, but since e6 is impossibly
distant the platform has taken to breakage in minor versions.
Nonetheless I would expect two releases on the yearly cadence so
breakage within 18 months seems very wrong and to merit a regression fix.
Regards
Ed Willink

Hello,
The older version of CVS support seem to not be working any more with
newer Platform:
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.team/issues/29#issuecomment-1369456296
. While there is clearly no intention for Platform to revive CVS
support or anything of that form. the broken or unavailable CVS
support seems to be something that is a problem for a few people on
StackOverflow. It may be a good business opportunity for some
freelancers to try to get in touch with people who seem to need CVS
support and turn those CVS users as customers who could fund a forked
and up-to-date version of former support; or to get in touch with them
and sell some CVS->Git migration.
Cheers,
