Jamoma moved to Subversion
Posted March 16, 2006 by Trond Lossius
Tim yesterday moved the Jamoma repository from CVS to Subversion. We have updated the Jamoma wiki to reflect the current changes.
One of many advantages of using Subversion is that you can now get (checkout) Jamoma from the repository with no username/password required.
