Since somebody noticed, I thought I'd announce a slightly experimental git repository for Gnash on savannah. I'm not going to go into a long explanation of bzr performance problems as currently implemented on savannah other than it's often painfully slow, and there is no web based browser. After over a year of trying, it's become obviously lately the changes of getting the problems fixed was just not going to happen anytime soon.
So at that point it was either move to launchpad, which has a better bzr server setup, or switch to git, which is setup well on savannah. Since all of our existing bug reports, patches, etc.., are on savannah, and it's the FSF sponsored host, it seemed better to try git. So there is now a repo at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnash.git. I'm currently using it for the release branch, and the Git master is in sync with bzr. I found some great utilities for using git and bzr together, so used http://github.com/termie/git-bzr-ng to import everything and to keep them in sync incrementally. I've also found there is a bzr-git, which lets you use bzr commands in git. So anyway, I figured we might as well play with git, since I can keep the two repos in sync for a while, and they're pretty similar. Two things I have noticed, the web interface for git is pretty good, and git is nice and fast. So anyway, I thought we'd use it for the release branch as a test. btw, bzr is tagged for with release_0_8_8_start, and I have a local bzr branch as well in addition to the git one for the release. - rob - _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
