Hey guys,
I wanted to run this past the community to see what the general feeling
is. I am considering a move back to savannah utilizing git instead of
subversion.
The implementation of git on savannah, I believe, allows checkout and
check-in VIA subversion. I would at least like to try to main
Hi Greg,
I don't see the big benefit in switching to git, but I wont resist that move
either. We don't have that many branches of GNUstep, so cherry picking changes
wont happen that often. We should make sure that the people using the only
official branch, testplant, are willing to move too. Ot
Nice web UIs make tracking changes easy and perhaps even enjoyable. Git
ecosystem has a couple of web services that let you do that.
Git would also make it easier to do code review for new developers before
they make changes directly in the tree.
Despite some annoying UI decisions, I'm in favor o
Hi,
while libffi is preferred on most platforms, we continue(d) to support
ffcall. I use it for example on windows.
To do that, I used --enable-ffcall, which is still listed in the help .
I tried to reconfigure base:

The issue with savannah at this point is that they only allow one
repository per user. This is quite different from git hub which allows as
many repositories as a user wants or needs. This is the only problem
really facing us.The git repo at github contains a full history of

I have no strong feelings on this.

Hi,
(sorry for some horrid to-posting, but I do not reply 1:1 here)
I'm in favor of moving back to savannah again, but not the switch to GIT.
Every VCS system has its pros and cons and we can debate forever. The
main point is, however, what I would borrow from OpenBSD's reasoning: do

What is the problem with binary files with git? Would our image files be
affected? We
No; it won't corrupt them. It just (as expected) doesn't know how to diff
them nor does it try to. The problem would be if they were massive and if
they would change frequently (or sometimes more than once), which would
mean the amount of data you'd need to 'git clone' would grow much more
sharply

Hi,
while upgrading the latest releases, I ran into problem with the libgif
5.1.1 installed on OpenBSD, that EGifCloseFile() is called with too few
arguments. Seems with 5.1.0, it got added the second argument, like
DGifClose got, patch below fixes issue for me.
OK to commit?

Thank you for spotting this. This is a rather annoying bug. One of the main
reasons why I tried to push the new release out was to get GIF support working
again with a current release of libgif and now this is still broken.
If you change this, could you please move the #define for EGifOpen to the
