[C++ Toolkit ANNOUNCE] NCBI C++ Toolkit: Public Access to the Source Code -- moved from SVN to GitHub

[Vakatov, Denis (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [E]]

Dear users of NCBI C++ Toolkit,

The SVN-based mirror of the Toolkit (at https://anonsvn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/repos/v1/trunk/c++) is now closed for public use (and eventually it will be retired altogether).

Instead, the contemporary TRUNK (and in the future, public releases) of the Toolkit is now available to the public in GitHub at https://github.com/ncbi/ncbi-cxx-toolkit-public.

At this time it is a read-only mirror of our master SVN repository, updated nightly. Note however that one can submit Pull Requests to it (assumed to be under the overall NCBI C++ Toolkit license only!). We will review and consider such PRs for merging into our SVN repository - from which they will make its way back into this GitHub mirror.

Best regards,
  - NCBI C++ Toolkit group

AND MORE...

There are a few more major developments that are going to (positively) affect the general usability of the NCBI C++ Toolkit and allow for a better collaboration:


  1.  The Toolkit can now be built using CMake (in addition to the legacy CONFIGURE based build system).
  2.  There is an effort currently underway to allow to build and to use the Toolkit using Conan package manager (using CMake). We hope to get it working in a matter of weeks, and also to make it available through ConanCenter.
  3.  There are plans to move Toolkit's master code repository (inside NCBI) from SVN to GIT. This is still in very early stages and is unlikely to get done before 2023.
