I think we agree on this front and I'm happy to move to subversion too, as are various of the other contributors.

Earliest stuff is from 1999 http://rpm-devel.colug.net/ChangeLog

Probably don't loose that much detail cf the rpm tree.

Well it'd be nice to keep things all together wrt rpm development.  At the
moment the focus is at colug.net http://rpm-devel.colug.net, and I think rather
than have to move accounts, etc at a later date I can setup subversion for
maximum rpm there.  Poke me off list for an account, or if you do irc I'm on
#rpm.

Thanks for the offer, normally I would just have set up with that, but we've
just had the discussion about moving all of rpm to subversion so it'd make
sense to get this underway on colug.  Hopefully do today/this weekend.
