I'm happy to accept patches on the list, if people don't mind that. I'm also happy to import from other git repositories. We already use git. See http://repo.or.cz/w/barry.git That is where I push from my local git repo. I also have a script that helps me push to an internal backup CVS repository, as well as the Sourceforge CVS repository. They are all the same. If you prefer to use git, I encourage you to add a fork of the barry.git project above, and push your changes there. Then email the list when you're ready for me to pull. I like the 'fork' idea of the repo.or.cz site, even though it is somewhat poorly named, because then everyone's fork is listed at the bottom of the barry.git page, and everyone can try everyone else's experimental tree. (If you decide against creating a fork on repo.or.cz, please add a link to the official barry.git site, from wherever your changes are located, so newbies don't get lost.) This is similar to the way the linux kernel does things (http://git.kernel.org) and I think it would work well for us too. > I've been working on bzr projects, and since my move away from svn, I > have found contributing small changes to be very easy.

I imagine it might be possible to pull from a bzr repo using git, but I've never had occasion to try it. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
