Janos Koppany (Intland) has been in contact with me asking if they could partitipate and as I understand from the discussion we had he agreeing to keep it EPL so I think this is just a standard company header that went in by mistake. He also asked if the main reposetory could be put on javaforge in the future since they can host it there and it will be easier for them (is it a goof hosting site?) This I think will be a we a discussion that we shall take in the future and not know. I have asked him to push back the stuff they make in there repository and I hope this will happen soon as they seem to have done some work there. And it might hinder others to start work in the main repo. Currently they are treated like any other contributer in the way that it will probably go into the main repo if it is good. And I'm proud of what mercurialeclips has become and how many people uses this software today last release had about 15000 downloads,(I don't know if any of them are index-spiders, I counted on the .jar file). The thanx for this goes mostly to all that contributers as I should never been able to take it this far myself just look at the number of commits by me and by others at ohloh: https://www.ohloh.net/p/mercurialeclipse/contributors > > and, it is hosted in subversion ..... > This is obvius something that probably need fixing before a "main-repo" switch can come into question or at least discussed alot to we get tired of that discussion :) -- Zingo Andersen (zingo.org and vectrace.com) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MercurialEclipse" group.
