I considered just using an SVN account elsewhere since I know SVN already.. however the issue is, no one uses svn any more (I know people use it) so for sharing code you pretty much have to use github and follow the other sheep. I don't mind the github GUI, in fact it's web based portal is extremely good. I'm just skeptical of github being replaced by yet another tool in 3 years just as CVS was replaced by SVN, and SVN replaced by CVS. I think the reason github is successful is because it has a wicked GUI interface... github.com. Compared to the crap you see on source forge with their broken ugly CVS viewers in html, or svn viewers. The issue with github is that it encourages a lot of forking rather than working together as CVS did. Actually that begs the question, does freepascal still use SVN as their development revision system? I'm completely out of touch with what's happening with fpc dev _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
