Turnbull" () Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:00:56 +0900 > [selecting a VCS for the web pages] Why bother? RCS would be good enough for this. I think it's worth bothering precisely because there is so much discussion. People become attached to their tools, and hindering them is dissipative distraction. It's a big win to save not only Emacs from this cronic morass, but every other savannah-hosted project (GNU and not GNU), as well. As for RCS, well, if the revamped protocol is clean enough, why not? The argument that the sysadmins don't have time actually supports this effort -- i imagine (w/o data except for personal interactions re the projects i admin) a non-trivial portion of the time-consuming tasks is spent on fixing CVS-related weirdness. It's empathy for the sysadmins that spurs me to speak up, actually -- i remember my experiences having to admin CVS repos (for others) w/ distinct distaste. Max unfun. Anyway, i'm falling yet further behind on even *starting* this task, spewing on and on, so i'll bow out now. I repeat my invitation for others to beat me to it. The thanks from everyone will be thunderous. =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFzq0QACgkQZwMiJEyAdQLWZgCfey3ZZLFmkT9gmA/zN6ggmuY4 esMAnjuG9++ulqNfHTuzSMnKpkS3YjUQ =ZkOs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
