Once I started to look at tla, I see mentions of larch, baz, ArX, and some others. There're also references to a legacy arch. Can someone please summarize/point out the history of GNU Arch <=> tla, and outline, briefly, the main differences of other clones? E.g., baz refers to arch protocol, but already has its own archive format (although can work with tla format as well). How did tla come to become the GNU Arch? And what is the deal with the clones, they seem to splinter the development and attention of those researching a new versioning system... I'd like to see a statement from GNU on the "State of the Arches", and/or at least "a view from the tla project," since when you start looking at it, it's not immediately obvious who's the original, who's the clone, which is the viable and safe bet to use for the long term.
Cheers, Alexy _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
