They have to plan and workout a succession, and that succession will have to involve a new generation of programmers who learned different ways of working, and that more or less involves Git and a whole lot of other tools. Somehow all this indifference to Git bothers me because it seems they are ignoring the greater realities of life. If a new generation are going to get involved with FPC and Lazarus development, and the main developers are really concerned with all the time and effort they put into this great product not going to waste when they retire then they ought to reconsider the indifference or aversion to Git. This is what the aversion or indifference to Git signifies me. It doesn't mean that I don't think they don't have any plans for how the project will be continued in the long term future, but there seems to an indifference in the appeal the working culture has for newer generation. They need foster a passion and a commitment (fanboy fanaticism may be the right word) to Lazarus and FPC in a new generation. If you think I am such a Git fanboy I am not. For personal projects I am beginning to find Git rather cumbersone as it doesn't have project management, ticketing, patch reviewal and a host of other stuff built in. I am beginning to consider Fossil, yes, the same Fossil that is being mocked in this thread as an alternative because it comes with batteries included. Now Florian, considering your preference for GUI tools, won't the development of cross platform Git GUI surpassing Tortoise Git, Github and Atlassian's tools, SmartGit and whatever be the best advert for Lazarus and FPC? There would such a major flow of patches coming in that you would have to stop coding actively and review the patches going in like Linus does. You could have your cake and eat it too. :). I think such a tool with documentation on how it was built would be the best advert for Lazarus and FreePascal. Graeme? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
