[Sputnik-list] The SVN imposible...

[Yuri Takhteyev]

Unfortunately, Sputnik 0.3 indeed won't work on Windows.  I started working
on a fix on that, but this attracted my attention to a few other ugly things
in the code and turned into a full-blown refactoring, which will be released
as Sputnik 0.4 when it is complete.  Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly
how long that would take - it depends a bit on my will power, as I am trying
very hard to not work on Sputnik for more than 5-10 hours a week, and to
move ahead with my dissertation instead...

To give you some indication, Sputnik 0.4 got its storage layer refactored
into a separate module, which I am calling Versium (
http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/sputnik/Versium).  Versium similarly
works on top of a simple file-based storage system or on top of LuaSVN but
solves a few problems (including the ":" issue, by escaping it in file
names) and is written to be more general, with a hope of being useful
outside Sputnik itself.  This part is finished, the next step is recreating
a Spunik-aware repository on top of Versium, which is mostly there.  This
time around I am trying to write more unit tests, which slows things down a
bit in the short term.  After that it's a matter of porting the UI front end
to the new repository.
