Fair enough. I don't want to interfere with a decision since people have taken time and effort to work on the migration. > I am against having more than one way of accessing source code for > GNOME source code.

Well, I don't know about you, but when I build usding jhbuild I do seem to have to know about bzr and git since X, cairo and others depend on it so it'll probably not happen at least for a developer. In fact if you switch to git, it's quite likely you only have to use only two VCS's, git and bzr. With only the mono folks having to do git/svn/bzr From documentation,translators and others, it'll probably not matter if it's git or svn as long as it's the same across all GNOME. > I am also against GNOME SysAdmin team having to provide for different > project hosting services.

So if there aren't enough sysadmins to maintain multiple VCS then I can understand a single solution. In any case, let's just do it. SVN isn't a bad solution even if I think it's anachronistic. :-) It's a mature VCS and maybe that's what we need. Sometimes we just need to disagree and commit. :-) sri _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
