Yea well we are not enough developers to justify the maintenance overhead IMHO. Its mostly you, Steve and me currently who push stuff, right? None of us are likely to mess things up. And newbies should be sending pull requests anyway instead of being given push access. The -official repositories solve a problem which doesn't even exist. And the result is that our repository list on Github is 5 pages. Thats unnecessary bloat. So can we get rid of this, if only at least for WOT? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTpQI2AAoJEMtmZ+8tjWt5gpcP/2Abt0gNC4+TTVPD01CLk4gZ o1VSY3qBGELBOtGPeQlhzk9GaVxknpL0kh6duKxJqJgfGeDQfnRbt2oPmMjFesk2 X6uKA+oABc0m1rb/ufhiJpVLDSzxse8fw381NHiIBWEcu+ARy92+LFizaKdc5aW6 FKO6PQa2dGJKwHTRS82vEWYRv1C2ACBkeLmHrwnCzGDzyXnB46RZinyXenyLwciJ E53CEvDBdMMlnlsMZ5GgUAZRZr6L6AJRb4oSDBWALDyTpubpxrmFrkhyfXVFuPHo aLR73IoPt2YP4nCgnie4UwIF6mMGcZumbDN+DJxyFHOVTKOC7+1PcLTZ7UsO8htT 56T+QCkzUx9MNQkIUZ9sh9ZVdf18LGq0sembFWiMTGA6yD2mdk/inIfbIFRXedqK CkuHYXky04AUusaotpA4nfHWUBH3akr6hiaOysYJH5EgilS/tGz1+rbWYPnnGrrV R02Peddi/7+pjtdFIt9h9ev0FdnkSmjjemgzJ0oCHj2Ial20WicaysxReNfZcIYc eM8kihCA4iAfQ29EDmGOoKKRqs8+3YFJY8hjfd9vjmRznzSR3XWfsOQ+GdS1x4dY lueAqrayKQZzH4LhQ4/5rVyIWYqdSfF11lhiPUvq6l/RwooSLnxsl5J6R2peSb67 2Sd5q7WmcVUbV/7EA4of =3Kmb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
