For all practical purposes, we have stopped using it as intended long ago. When we first started, those of us responsible for maintaining part of the sources simply continuously pushed updates. Very efficient, everyone saw what was up to date. Since 2.4, we have all been passing patches around, pushing things into BK didn't seem to matter, and usually were ignored or lost. People responsible for certain areas of maintenance are now just bypassed with sometimes bad patches just given to Andrew directly. We may as well go back to using CVS and passing patches around, since it easier to do that than the way we have been using BK. Thanks. -- Dan
