Just to head this off, this is not a specific vote of confidence for Bazaar. The Bazaar developers were at PyCon and both Barry and Thomas were willing to put the time and effort to get the mirror up and going while the Bazaar team was nearby to answer questions. At this point this is more of an experiment to see if people like the development style of distributed VCS. If people do and someone steps forward to put the time and effort to add Mercurial support, we can then consider doing something similar to what was done for the issue tracker. But for right now this is just to try out distributed VCS, nothing more. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
