Andy, A friendly request: Please include a pointer to the current relevant branch of arch when posting about updates. One of the more off-putting characteristics of the tla project in the past was seemingly endless churn of the official branch, the official archive, the official bug list (especially!), the official bug submission process, the official release process, the official home page, etc. Generally a goodly amount of research was required just to figure out where the latest sources were, and then you were never quite sure, because that might have been branched into yet another set of official sources, and there would be exactly no way of knowing that by looking at what was in one point in time the official sources. So I was interested in your updates, but I didn't know where the latest sources were (again). I googled GNU arch and found the GNU page. So far so good. No mention of the location of the canonical archive there. Ok, maybe it's on the "maintainer's project home page". Well, no, that points to one of Tom's abandoned project page full of "blah" "blah" placeholders. Strike one. So then I go to the Savannah site and find some archive information there. Oh, good. I register the archive and do a 'tla get': % tla get -A [EMAIL PROTECTED] tla--atai--1.3 tla-official arch_archive_connect: attempt to connect to incompatible archive archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's a Big Problem (TM). Please advise. I am writing this up as a complaint because I support arch and want to see it get used and adopted. It won't get any following if this is what people are seeing when they go try to get a copy of the source controlled code. tla was supposed to make all of this easier, not a chronic PITA!
