Hi all,
sorry to pose such a stupid question, but I'm confused and the listserv
mails (yes, they can be seen even without a slac account, though I have
one) are not enough for me, as a beginner, to understand.
I have installed the hps software using cvs, according to the instructions
on software installation on the confluence page.
Now, I realise I should switch to svn. How can this be done at this point?
May I simply svn commit on the top of a cvs installation?
Or, do you suggest to start over from scratch replacing the cvs
instructions with svn? (if this is the case, better do this before
starting any real work, I guess). I suppose this would be the cleanest
solution, but I'm not sure I really know how to do it.
Thanks, cheers
