Mike, I don't like the current SF file release system any better than you do. Even the SF staff dislikes it. That's one of the reasons I believe there will be a rewrite. >Ibiblio offers a tree structure now.

The main reason is a central location for users to locate our files. >Storage of large files including CD images don't seem to be an issue. <snip> >I suggest that Ibiblio is a much better repository for our files than SF. It may be, but will everyone agree to the naming conventions they enforce? http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/howtosubmit.html Also, how many developers are allowed to submit changes to the repository? I was unable to locate this information. The last consideration is licensing. David is using the MIT license, and everyone else is using GPL. From what I understand reading the iBiblio licensing page, only one license is allowed per repository. http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/LICENSES/!INDEX.html -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
