Hi Gyro, I read that thread and the linked to blog article (now 2 yrs old) from the retired senior bzr developer Jelmer Vernooij. It's pretty clear that bzr is now in stasis development wise, https://www.ohloh.net/p/bazaar/commits/summary bears this out, and the community is dead/dying.
I personally still favour Mercurial (hg) over git, but the gravity well of git & Github is undeniable. Even if Leo did choose hg I'd still be on github a big chunk of time because there's just so much stuff there (some of it mine too ;-). However I've since discovered SourceTree workbench and can work with either kind of repo from as single environment, not having to get intimate with different command line dialects. So that's letting me have my cake and eat it too. :) so yeah, +1 for moving to git & github. -matt On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 8:19 PM, gf <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > First, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Edward and the other > developers of Leo for their tireless efforts in creating and improving this > fantastic piece of software. > > I apologize if this post seems presumptuous as I am not a Leo developer, > but my comment is meant to open a dialogue about one possible avenue for > improving the future prospects for Leo in terms of user adoption and > developer interest. > > My comment is based on my own experience with bazaar and other version > control systems, as well as this recent thread on the emacs developer list: > > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-01/msg00005.html > > As many of you know, the version control system 'git' has gained a large > mindshare among software developers, and GitHub is now a principal location > for hosting software development projects, including a very large number of > Python-based applications and packages. > > I wonder if moving the development of Leo from Launchpad to GitHub and a > git-based workflow would encourage greater developer interest and more > widespread usage of Leo. > > Thoughts? > > Sincerely, > Gyro > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "leo-editor" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/leo-editor. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
