What's good in keeping them? SVN's version of Attic? :-) Again, I see no other projects keeping attic stuff... see kde3 stuff, gnome, kernel... once things are gone, they're gone! just svn log will show they ever existed. If you wish we could create a "Dead_Projects" wiki page and list the revision each directory was removed so one can easily recover it. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
