This is an example of what I mean, the default browse views for the logs show all of the branches. I'll be svn works similarly http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/pd/src/s_stuff.h branches are a tool generally used for code that is intended to be included in the code that it is branched from. When a codebase becomes a fork, then there is no longer that intension. Matju has submitted few if any patches to the tracker and has publically declared dd is a fork. So I am just suggesting that we use the tools well, which will also hopefully help some social issues. This is not a question of whether I think DD is worthwhile or not, I have contributed work towards supporting DD and I think it is worthwhile. This is just a question of using the tools well. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Using ReBirth is like trying to play an 808 with a long stick. - David Zicarelli _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
