FAQ_DEV Update: Fix Answer for Q 1.19, add Q on SCMS - Mailing list pgsql-patches

Subject pretty much says it all. Somewhere the answer to 1.19 got
regurgitated to 2.9, so this corrects that and adds an answer to the
SCMS question based on recent hackers thread.

!         <P>Currently the core developers see no SCMS that will provide
!         enough benefit to outwiegh the pain involved in moving to a new
!         SCMS. Typical problems that must be addressed by any new SCMS include:</P>
!             <ul>
!             <li>Run natively on all of our <a
href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/supported-platforms.html">supportedplatforms</a>.</li> 
!             <li>Integrate into the <a href="http://pgbuildfarm.org/">Buildfarm</a>.</li>
!             <li>Import our entire CVS Repository while preserving complete history.</li>
!             <li>Allow for anonymous checkouts.</li>
!             </ul>
!         <P>Currently there is no intention for switching to a new SCMS until at least the
!         end of the 8.4 development cycle sometime in late 2008. For more information
!         please refer to the mailing list archives.</P>
