Note that subversion, mercurial and git all fail several tests in Haiku. So whichever one we decide on, there may be further porting work needed. And with every new version they tend to break our previous patches... I just ran the tests for hg on haiku, this was with 1.7.3: # Ran 396 tests, 49 skipped, 50 failed. To run the tests yourself you can use haikuporter (http://ports.haiku-files.org/wiki/Installation#Installation) haikuporter --test hg-1.7.3 For git you can run: haikuporter --test git-1.7.3.5 (well this won't work until this build is fixed, see http://ports.haiku-files.org/ticket/523#ticket ) And svn: haikuporter --test svn-1.6.15 Anyone run the speed tests on real hardware in Haiku, in other words, not using a virtual machine? Have you run the regression test suites on them? Has anyone gotten newer versions to build on Haiku? If so can you post your build steps to the haikuports ML, or better yet add a .bep file for them. -scottmc
