Jiri,
not so that you get an impression we were not interested, just because
we do not actively take part in the discussion. Most of us probably
are convinced that "no objection == full approval" and prefer keep
on just lurking and not to choke the mailing list when there is not
really much to say.
But maybe from time to time it is good if someone like me *is* choking
the line to show that we are still alive :-)
Working with the source code is something I would personally not do in
the near future. I certainly would be able to, I have to do so in
more situations than I'd like (with other software packages). But I
only do so if there is absolutely no other way. Developers of those
packages usually post the code on their own websites, or even send
them via e-mail.
The only time I tried to download the source for a personal rebuild
concerning Firebird (about 8 months ago) I found that doing so from
SourceForge was too complicated and I had to give it up. But it does
not necessarily mean that I could manage this better from Git.
Your arguments sound very reasonable in any case, and most of all it
makes your work easier. When your work is easier it helps you to help
me in the future, so I certainly approve this idea.
I see a potential problem only where a generalist developer is quite
used to SF and still finds all his other sources there and would have
to acquaint another source location just for the .net provider.
But, then again, nobody said that life as a developer has to be free
from obstacles all the time, and if you never change anything you
won't ever improve something.
best regards,
André Knappstein
