This is excellent. Really excellent ! Lets work together then and see if we can pull together a prototype subversion environment and then see where it goes. We can make a start by taking all of the source code for all of the software at Blastwave and checking it into the repository. What do you think? I will get a server put together .. at the moment I have a spare Netra T1 AC105 unit with no RAM. I had recently bought a small Netra unit off eBay and it had neither disks nor RAM and thus was pretty cheap. I really love the Netra T1 AC105 units ( codename flapjack ) and what I did was scavenged hardware from around my house and other systems. To make a long story short I have two Netra units in production now and a third that is available for this source repository. It has no RAM however and the mezzanine memory for these things is not cheap. Even on eBay. Let me dig around and get a server going. With a little luck we can duplicate the repository at http://svn.genunix.org/repos/ except for all the non-OS bits.
