That's an n VS 1 situation. There are two reasons I could see for switching: 1) Making it easier for non-committers to provide quality patches. 2) Making it easier for users to cherry-pick patches and apply them uniformly across their various environments. Obviously, if the patch makes its way into trunk, it need not be manually managed. For the former, having to set everything up manually is another hurdle to making a submission. Some may view this as a weeding out process, which is fine. I personally am not going to bother mirroring trunk in a local repository. I would, however, use a sanctioned, public one. For the latter, it's probably not the responsibility of the devs. Indeed, it would appear to be symptomatic of a larger issue and the proper fix would be to apply patches in a timely fashion. That's not to say they're not right now -- I'm just painting a picture. So, in summary, depending on what the intent is, I think it naturally leads to a conclusion. I personally am a fan of distributed systems to encourage new contributions. I'm a member of one of the Apache projects and it annoys me as a developer to no end that we set up this extra hurdle for patch submissions. Of course, everyone has their own take on the matter ;-) -- Kevin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
