I'm running "OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601f". What can I say? It didn't work. I didn't have problems connecting to other servers I use. >No commit access does not translate to no progress.

Without access to a central repository, developer collaboration is extremely difficult. We sorely need things like release engineering work to be done. >I'm not advocating "patch releases."

I don't really see how it's feasable to keep track of various patches and their interdependencies without revision control. >> It completely boggles my mind at this point why you are >> advocating keeping the repository at mhost. > >If everyone really feels this way, fine.
