Ok let us try to sort this out then. Recall the starting point was when
Eric asked for help to apply some patches (I recall 2 but there might be
more). I answered saying that I almost forgot what I ever knew about CVS
and whether we could switch to a DVCS like git or hg. So we had a
discussion and a vote and git won, so far so good.
It is true that some people, among them, developers of other
emacs-matlab versions expressed their interest to switch to github,
however what I did not realise at that point, was that we did not
discuss of how to export the mailing list (and maybe other stuff like
issues etc, but I believe there is besides the mailing list nothing
really interesting, if there is, please speak up).
So I think it is best to discuss this issue now, and may be vote again.
- I ask: if we use a DVCS, like git, then the very nature of it is as
follows:
people can
clone the repo
add their code, apply patches, merge etc
and then push it back.
This is a *decentralised* program, this is the beauty of it, no
central server needed as in CVS or subversion.
So once we have decided for git, I don't see any difference
between sourceforge/github/bitbucket etc, save the graphical
interface.
Does everybody agree with that? A CVCS makes the question of the
server less important, no?
Or does github has some shiny wonderful feature I oversee?
- how important is the mailing list and its archive to people on
this list? I admit for me it is quite important and that is why I
argue for staying in sourceforge but switching to git. What do
other people think?
