Hi Arjen: Many SF services are down at the moment including PLplot's website and git repo. This e-mail should reach you directly, but I am not even sure the SF mail servers are working so the CC: to plplot-devel may not get delivered.
But here is an interesting point I want to make about git; it is distributed so since you already cloned our git repo on Friday, then you can do anything you like with it except fetch or push to SF. So, for example, you can develop and test all you like on topic branches. Of course, when service is restored, you will be able to update your local master to be consistent with pushes by others (it's hanging at that "fetch" stage at the moment), rebase your topic branches to be consistent with local master (if any pushes by others happened), fast-forward merge the result to master and push master. Currently, I have a topic branch (concerning generation of the website in my case) tested and committed and therefore ready to merge to master and push. Like you I will have to wait to update, rebase, and push until service is restored. But meanwhile, I might develop a different topic on a new local topic branch which would be a nice demo of the power of git in an imperfect world. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
