It has worked for years around CVS' shortcommings, plus being a core GNU package, it is quite unlikely to /ever/ go for a non-oss SCM. Plus the bureaucracy (have to have a paper signing over ownership to the FSF for any changes) make a fully Linux-style development unlikely (and thus BK (which was designed as SCM for the kernel) not really useful). -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
