Yep, most probably. Didn't want to cheat. I corrected myself in a follow-up. All I'm saying is that in all the various threads about this issue this past couple of weeks, we've seen many pro-git hackers, but not as many pro-others. But I particularly think your low-level vs higher-level separation is very real. Which leads me to think that there's no reason why all GNOME modules have to live in the same kind of repository. > Again, just some food for thought. > > Elijah > > [1] > http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2007-September/msg00195.html -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
