Hi Rob, thanks for the clarification, I'll reply in-line.

While I haven't been part of these discussions, I appreciate whatever simplification we get. And I guess it obviously needs a transition period for the technical aspects to be solved. On the other hand, I am wondering about how we're to organize our neat little community here. I assume both groups will continue to share this mailinglist, right? > I > share/understand your feelings about DevTool - we did not reimplement it in > OCB.

Understood, but I guess at some point it's about either moving the ./dev tool based repository layout to the new org or to re-implement building old releases under the opencrowbar org. From a Crowbar-1 contributor's perspective it would look a bit unfair to move only the fancy parts to a fresh github org and leave the "legacy" bits in the current one. Simply because this is severely slowing us down. So for Crowbar-1 people, this is actually a good opportunity to address long-standing concerns, such as reducing the number of branches per repository and probably the amount of repositories itself, Travis-CI and whatnot. > Suggestions? Rob Others than a slightly ironic "get your ass off the turf fast, man" I think we should make sure the community remains healthy :-) For the technical challenges you face, I guess the answer is easy: You made the decisions, you'll find the solution ;-) Thanks for sharing some more thoughts. -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
