We are planning to change a number of major Chaste infrastructure components in the next few months. These include:

• Changing to a version control system based on Git rather than the current Subversion (See #2655)
• Implementation of a CMake build system, instead of the current Scons (See #2656)
• replacing the current continuous integration and testing scripts with a Buildbot system (See #2656)

This page will collate some of the information and guides related to the changes mentioned above. Please see these slides attachment:chaste_infrastructure.pdf​ for an overview of the migrations.
