I feel really unconfortable with the idea of Savane removing everything. Okey, we have backups... But a small bugs could really be critical with such removal feature. I would be more confortable with a removal that still require manual intervention (moving data into a specific dir, for instance). > - group type change: when setting up a redirection (ie. a project >from Savannah moved to Gna!), I close all active features, and I want >to remove the contents to avoid any confusion (some people could >still try to cvs update).

I consider the attitude of the project leader disrepectful at most. When I ask for something, I expect a clear answer, not a fucking "I'm busy right now". I still did not took action as one of the project leader is someone nice, related to FSF France, that warned us (for another reason) that he wont be available for the whole month. Anyway, I wont make the migration two times. -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
