The emphasis on CVS here is because it is used for Ocaml itself, for GODI itself, and also is the standard system on Sourceforge. That covers a lot of projects. There may well be other systems, and perhaps GODI can handle them at some stage. But right now NOT having CVS access is a complete show stopper for those people trying to collaborate developing several libraries and synchronising them: for example the ExtLib, Ocaml itself, the other Extlib, Camomile. To factor these projects, stored in multiple places, requires a fast turnaround for change propagation, much faster than can be obtained from tarball releases. So if you want a community structure mediated by GODI in which to participate you're going to have to use CVS for a while, if only to participate in upgrading GODI to also handle Subversion and Arch or whatever :D -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
