Hard question to answer meaningfully (beyond "not a lot"), but as a rough metric, here are the commit counts to trunk/base in the last year: [email protected] 259 [email protected] 145 [email protected] 121 [email protected] 79 [email protected] 40 [email protected] 34 [email protected] 20 [email protected] 13 [email protected] 7 [email protected] 6 [email protected] 5 [email protected] 4 [email protected] 3 [email protected] 3 [email protected] 3 [email protected] 3 [email protected] 2 [email protected] 1 [email protected] 1 [email protected] 1 [email protected] 1 [email protected] 1 [email protected] 1 [email protected] 1 > These would be my next questions to keep this discussion going and > hopefully to get this repository project of the ground.. I should note at this point that there are a lot of bits and pieces of the functionality already around. See for example: <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/MPAB> <http://github.com/febeling/portmill> Note also that the images-and-archives branch created to work on <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19458> is probably where you would want to be working if you were to add code to download archives. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
