Launchpad translations are submitted under a BSD license, that is all. I was talking about the move of the bug trackers, for example: https://launchpad.net/geda/+bugs/ https://launchpad.net/pcb/+bugs/ Personally I find the interface much more compelling than Sourceforge, and it doesn't constantly forget what you were doing when it decides you need to log in (AGAIN)! Nicer bug email, nicer ... (did I mention nicer?) Just a random example of an imported bug. https://launchpad.net/geda/+bug/698738 Also accessible via its old SF id with an alias: https://launchpad.net/geda/+bug/sf-3150018 Equivalent SF.net URL was at best: http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3150018 But if you click it, you get: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3150018&group_id=161080&atid=818428 That alone was almost enough to have me tearing my hair out when doing triage. Take a look around the geda and PCB trackers.. see if it would suit gerbv as well. There is no rush though. I'll still remember how to do the export a month or more from now. (I'm still scarred from fixing up the corrupted encodings in the SF "backup" of the gEDA and PCB trackers.) -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
