No disrespect, David; that's the message that inspired my reaction. A couple of small points... "This time, I think the results were decisive." 1. We - Heraldry Project? Your Company? US vs THEM - bad signal. (I'm not saying you won't have internal dialogs. Presented this way continues to highlight the divisions.) "We are going to abandon darcs and use svn for all Heraldry projects." 2. I was not clear this is ASF svn. However, there are some patches left in our write queue that we need to flush. 3. US vs THEM again - and "our" queue. I'm as happy to "flush" any project who believes code deserves to be "flushed" at the ASF. "So later this week you'll see a burst of roughly sixty patches from me in libraries/python/openid/trunk, and some more from Jonathan in libraries/php." 4. You present these as decided. Politically correct "I have about NN patches to offer back in lib.../trunk and Jonathan has about NN patches to commit to libraries/php that are lingering in our vendor branch. They do ..." "After that, commits should come in at more regular intervals in more manageable quantities." 5. Presented as decided. You aren't in a position to say that w.r.t. other committers. "I'll try to space out my commit activity after that so it's easier to follow, and will give my commits an extra couple of weeks for comments." Again - it's how you chose to phrase things. >> There are some other things we'll need to update too -- e.g. our buildbot >> is currently triggered by the darcs apply hook. first comment I had no issues with. Your box, your toys, in most projects either individuals or companies have resources to offer. May I point you to the CIA notifications that svn is willing to generate? http://cia.navi.cx/ They are sent automatically by our svn - configured by [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the purpose of providing instant notices on projects' irc.freenode.net channels, but I'm sure it's trivial for you to use these messages directly.
