git is available on savannah as well. I don't really know why it's really that much better though, but I wouldn't object if that is the general consensus among the active developers. It's those people who have to work with it, so it's their decision. But like Eric, I'd like to point out that any active developer should simply be a registered member within the savannah group, so he gets VCS write access, regardless of which VCS is chosen. > Personally, I do have a problem making the "official" repository > offsite away from Savannah. Me too. Anything else would be yet another code fork. Also, please don't forget that the historic simulavr code base should not be just dropped under the carpet when migrating. It is part of the project, there are at least still some users of it (among others, avr-libc's test suite has not been migrated to simulavrxx), and the minimum requirement I'd like to see for simulavrxx before even considering to completely deprecate the old code base would be that simulavrxx starts making official releases of some kind, within a sort of regular interval. Amonng other things, I'd need such releases to make the code go into the FreeBSD ports tree. Just checking out a VCS snapshot doesn't give me a warm feeling about the status of the project. (I don't care though whether these releases are named "simulavr" or "simulavrxx"; if the former, then please start with version 1.0, to make it well distinguishable from the old 0.1.x versions.) -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
