Hi all,
I finally managed to work out how to set up a Git repo on my new machine and
publish it to the web:

http://selmer.warwick.ac.uk/gitweb/FLINT-Lite.git

This is for my new FLINT-Lite project, but at this point much of the code in
there may be useful to MPIR, it contains a module called ulong_extras which
deals with single limb arithmetic.

If anyone is interested in that project, there is a google group which I
just started:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/flint-devel?hl=en

If you just want to play around with git, there's some basic instructions on
the first post to that list. But feel free to post questions here. Once I
get a bit more familiar with gitweb I'll make a repo of MPIR from our
current svn repo and post it on that same website. It should be no problems
to give people write access to it, though it isn't 100% necessary with git,
you can just publish your repo and we can pull from it.

If you want to play right away:

git clone git://selmer.warwick.ac.uk/FLINT-Lite.git FLINT-Lite

(make check does something if it knows where MPIR is).

It would be great to have a similar project for MPIR, i.e. x86_64 only, just
drop files in and no makefile or configuration nonsense, etc. It might be
worth thinking about an MPIR-Lite which is really, really easy for people to
contribute to. What do people think of that idea? Most of the code could
then be "ported" or modified to the standard MPIR style and pulled into the
main MPIR project, but the average contributor wouldn't have to understand
all the intricacies of MPIR development to contribute!

Bill.
