They are hosted by Cactus, but are obviously not requiring LGPL. We do not require git to be present where you compile. You require it only where you check things out. You then use rsync/simfactory to copy your tree wherever you want it. > I am also not aware of a machine that is in eg simfactory's mdb that > does not contain (some) version of git. You would be surprised. :) But then, maybe not. We agreed to download the tarball, only if needed, at runtime. This should work reasonably well using either wget or curl on essentially all systems. Whether these are then stored verbatim, in svn or git is a separate issue, and does not matter here I think. We don't have the machinery in place to do this anyway right now, so I suggest to not mix this with the general svn->git transition, and leave the ExternalLibraries where they are, for now - or make sure we get the scripts in place that would handle the downloading ect. first.
