--- Comment #8 from Elliott Hughes <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Philip Hazel from comment #7) > I'm an old dog that takes time to learn new tricks, and I'm afraid I have > never got round to learning Git. PCRE was set up with SVN just over 20 years > ago, and I've just stuck with it. As for -announce, nobody has asked for it, > until now. I guess they all manage with the pcre-dev list, which isn't > hugely busy. Perhaps I should ask on the list if such a thing would be > popular - and if so, persuade the exim.org managers to set it up. (I've > always relied on other folks to do everything except work on the code, e.g. > website, mailing list, etc. Can't do everything myself...) for my sins, i effectively own updating ~666 (funnily enough, that's the current count of projects in the AOSP external/ directory) open source projects. so having some programmatic way of recognizing a new release is a godsend, and a -announce@ list is the next best thing. (low volume * 666 == high volume!) i know projects like LLVM have some kind of svn -> git mirroring going on, but i don't know how that works. (and i'm not sure it would be able to recognize _releases_ anyway. that might be something you actually have to explicitly do?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
