I'm aware of the history. OpenFabrics is now paying for web space and support. The bottom line is that the Windows code *should* be on the OpenFabric's corporate server. The SVN repository is inaccessible to a lot of users trying to get through a firewall. >The SNV versus git is a decision to be made by the maintainers of the >code.

All contributors or anyone else wanting access to the source code are affected. I mentioned several advantages for moving to git. Personally, I fully plan on importing the Windows code into a git repository so that I can better manage the code changes, post it on the OFA server, and simplify the maintenance utilities shared between Windows and Linux. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
