I cannot find the original post for this decision, and I know commits to the web pages repo are less often than the sources repo. But I think it is more convenient and maintainable to use one VCS for a project (Emacs). The web paegs for all GNU packagess are currently maintained w/ CVS. Emacs is not special, here. On my (tertiary) TODO list is asking for (read-only) access to the web server in order to document the current maintenance (creation, update) protocol in the form of a tarball (of scripts) + .texi, for offline analysis, redesign, and testing. The goal is to raise the protocol's abstractions and expose a simple configuration item (to savannah) so that each project's maintainers could choose the VCS for its web pages, much as they can currently choose the VCS for its source code. Maybe someone else w/ more time and expertise (in web stuff) can do this job before me; i for one certainly would not mind (hint hint). Once that is in place, we can commence Emacs-specific (i.e., multi-year, circular, exhausting) discussion on which VCS to use for the web pages, maybe. =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFybGcACgkQZwMiJEyAdQIFuACaAx1VAobUJqJjmoLQN4IeI9ov wzIAoIxXuTp45BfM/csM/6+qHIUWh3xK =QjZ8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
