Erm, Ok... AFAIK the "company thinking" was a larger brick than I intended to throw around.. sorry... ;-( ...

AFAIK OpenSolaris tries to support two SCMs, Mercurial and Subversion, right ?

Uhm... what do you mean in this case ? IMO both Mercurial and Subversion should be supported (and a quick look (e.g just a look...) over the rim of the teacup to check whether there are other issues out there may be nice, too) ... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
