I'll bite. The "gforge" package in Debian has been switched from GForge to FusionForge, which is the new name for the free (GPL) codebase. It's not exactly a fork since all the people who worked on that free codebase are now working on FusionForge, and there hasn't been *any* activity on the gforge.org SVN since we went away. There's no reason to worry, it's going to be a normal upgrade, and we've done these upgrades for years (including the database schema upgrading). We'll transition to packages named "fusionforge" in the near future, much as we transitioned from "sourceforge" to "gforge" way back then (for pretty much the same reason, even -- to go away from a name that becomes associated to proprietary software). Okay, so this is not glibc (which is about a thousand times more popular according to popcon), but it had to be said, I guess :-) Roland. -- Roland Mas If you spit in the air, it lands in your face. -- Tevye, in Fiddler on the roof -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
