In this days I have tried Mercurial and Bazaar-ng, i ask why you use SVN and not a DVCS like mercurial o bazaar-ng?

I don't know these two ones. But the major point is, that sourceforge only provides SVN and CVS.

And why sourceforge??

Project Kenai, Assembla.com and much other offer thousands of solutions

We once switched from dev.java.net to get SVN instead of crappy CVS. We should stick with it now. SVN offers everything we need to version-control xith. So there's no need to switch to something else. Why do you ask?

Marvin

[Lobotomia]

Because in example Mercurial is distribuited, is more (very more) fast, and the way of DVCS is more useful of CVCS

Lobotomia, you just encountered Marvin's conservative side (which, I must say, often saves the day.)

But, really, Marvin, why not consider switching to another VCS ? (And, yeah, to another project hosting platform, SF is not exactly ideal, it has just been "good enough" for the past years).

Amos: yestardy i have spoken with Marvin about Mercurial and Other Hosting's Platform, Marvin now don't want to  change Hosting's Platform, but i press it

However Sourceforge have also possiblity to use Mercurial
I really not like SourceForge, because is not really open

I'm trying now project Kenai,
if you want any invite tell me and I send you.

I don't want to switch to another system and host, because SF and SVN do, what we need and we should not jump from host to host and confuse the users. That's the only reason.

I think that this is a good (only real motive) motive to don't switch to other host

While I wouldn't mind learning Mercurial, I agree with Marvin.  DVCS is still fairly new, I'd wait for it to mature a bit more, and have proper 3rd-Party support.

With all the competition for open source project hosting these days, it's likely new features will start popping up on all the major ones.

qb, all DVCS are most command like CVCS

Myeah. But I encountered enough problems with SVN in the past to see an interest into a VCS switch. (Bazaar looked great last time I saw it). But, it's true that SVN has good IDE support (Subclipse, etc).

All VCS have a good support
I think that in this moment Bazaar and Mercurial is good choice

They do not all have good support.  While their backends may all be actively developed, the frontend GUI-client/IDE-plugins for some of them are lacking.

I have read a wiki article about DVCSs. And I really don't see, what they have, what we would need. SVN already has everything we need in advantage over CVS. Most of the work is done locally and just to commits mean server communication. We don't need locally cloned repositories. This is really nothing, that improves work flow for xith or other involved projects. Maybe SF's slowness will be a reason so switch to another host one day. But for now it is ok.
