Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice git repository!

[nasrin khaksar]

hi.
because i am not a developer or programmer i am not shure about sourcecode.
but for bug reporting i am shure that bugzilla and the current way of
bug reporting in bugzilla is the most excellent, reliable, easy and
accessible way.

O people! there has come to you indeed an admonition from your Lord
and a healing for what is in the breasts and a guidance and a mercy
for the believers.
Say: In the grace of Allah and in His mercy-- in that they should
rejoice; it is better than that which they gather.

Others have already mentioned the independence. More elaborate answer:

"Free Software needs free tools"

The oldest/largest meta-projects such as Apache or GNU or KDE have
their own infrastructure. The latter uses GitHub just for read-only
mirrors; in order to contribute you use the Free infrastructure.

The code is a bunch of files so these can be copied but I think you
can imagine what happens if one day issue tracking system (such as
GitHub) disappears. There's no copy of the system.

In not (yet) a developer, but I'm sure we'll have our good reasons :)

Anyway you'd probably have to write on Dev list for such topics.

I'll try to forward your message to someone who knows those reasons better
than me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice git repository!

[Charles-H. Schulz]

Hello,

We do not rely on Github  for independence reasons. However we have our own git 
repository: http://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/source-code/

Github is an online service, not the only place to host git repositories (there 
are others such as bitbucket, gitlab and of course every git repository on the 
net).

Best,

Charles.

   very interesting.

   Is this perchance where new programs originate?
