Or libfeather in honor to the fact we now know all dinosaurs had feathers. ;) Kidding a part I like libfossil, but maybe it is a good occasion to remove the ambiguity with that filesystem.

That is apparently only used in a Ruby lib and some Fan Fiction site. Kidding a part I like libfossil, but maybe it is a good occasion to remove the ambiguity with that filesystem. Sacrilege ;). The underlying model, and much of the (being ported/refactored) code came from Richard, and i wouldn't dare to try to rename that part. But i wouldn't be able to resist a good pun-name based off of fossil (feather is stretching the imagination a bit, but it is funny). Does anyone actually use that filesystem still? i thought it was an old Plan9 thing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_(file_system) Oh, it's only 10 years old. i thought it went back much further. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

libfossil, that's what it is. But if you want to go down the living fossil path, Coelacanth. Just be careful it doesn't become a coprolith.
