There is a repo for celtk on gitorious. It includes an extra "expander" widget that I created and leaves out some of the allegro specific stuff that's in vanilla celtk. I've never really worked seriously with any other VCS but here's some of the things I like about Git. 1. encourages frequent commits (since commits can be done locally) 2. easy to create branches (and easier to merge them) 3. a nice interface to the history of your project (gitk) 4. a really nice emacs-mode (M-x git-status, M-x git-annotate) 5. easy creation of tarballs (git archive HEAD >project.gz) It interoperates nicely with cvs so there's no problem with setting up a repo on gitorious whose master branch simply mirrors the cvs repo. I think I sent a message to the list a while back that shows the steps I took to do this for celtk. -- Andy -- ---- Andy Chambers Formedix Ltd _______________________________________________ cells-devel site list cells-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cells-devel
