As someone particularly familiar in this area, I feel compelled to comment, if only to say that Alan is largely correct. > The problem with the gate conversions is not the technology being moved to - > we could have gone live with Mercurial long ago if it was only the process > of setting up repositories that had to be done - it's the integration with > the rest of the process and tools that is taking time. That's largely true, but not entirely. I don't see any point in elaborating in this discussion, however. If you, the OGB, feel that this is all our (SCM)'s fault, you are, of course, free to fix that in any way you so choose. But if you really think it will alter this farce in any material way, you're fools. -- Rich _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
