I know that Martin Pool no longer works on Bzr. He never told me why, but I think that Canonical decided to stop funding its development very much. I don't have time to read the Bzr mailing list. Or any development mailing list. The only such list I am on is this one, and the only reason I can be on this ls is that I don't follow most of the questions that come up. You might as well tell me to fly to the moon as tell me to read something on the Bzr list. I read http://stationary-traveller.eu/pages/bzr-a-retrospective.html before. It says many useful things but does not say anything about the crucial question: whether Bzr is maintained enough or not. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
