Re: GNUmail on NetBSD

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

I think this is a bit off-topic. Also, I imported lusernet to the nonfsf 
project, mainly because of the gnumail and pantomime affinity.

I don't like all this version control program fiddling, that happens on 
the main gnustep repo, because my vote counts little, but on gap where I 
work since years and am co-leader, I don't want the hassle.

If at all, I may migrate it to SVN because we use gorm file which are 
directories and CVS is a bit cumbersome with them. However I long 
maintained GAP apps on platforms where I was never able to get a running 
SVN (not even that exotic... mac 10.2 for example). Since I will 
probably drop some of them, I might change my mind.

The number of developers and general patching activity is not that big 
in GAP... up to little ago I was quite able to manage all the patches by 
myself...

Well, since I essentially gormize all apps I import into GAP, I think we 
are on different routes here. GORM files have drawbacks, especially with 
version control systems, but they are the main reason WHY I am working 
on GUI apps at all...

I don't want to force anything on others, but I am trying to give GAP 
apps a certain uniformity while working on them. One of them is the 
interface. GAP apps end up being also show-offs of our capabilities and 
portability...
