[libcroco-list] Using GNU ARCH along with CVS.

[dodji seketeli org]

Hi list,

Recently, we have been experiencing some pain in working together with
the current CVS infrastructure we have.
Basically, the GNOME anonymous CVS lags behind the GNOME developer CVS.
This lag result in a lot of pain, especially when people send me patches or
want to quickly get the result of changes I do in the GNOME developer CVS.

As a result, I decided to move to GNU ARCH for the daily development.
I will just use CVS as a stable repository, for snapshots.

I have setup an arch source archive for libcroco and sewfox at
http://dodji.seketeli.free.fr/archives/2004/xml-style/ .

This archive contains the main code line of libcroco and sewfox.

You can register to the source archive by doing:

tla register-archive dodji gnome org--xml-style-2004
http://dodji.seketeli.free.fr/archives/2004/xml-style .

Before you do that, please learn about arch by doing the excellent
and complete arch tutorial at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial/arch.html#arch_Meets_hello-world .

Arch can be disapointing at a first sight, but frankly, It's really powerful and
I really think it's the way to go.

Everyone can have it's own branch, child of the mainline branch I have setup,
and we will trade patches, like what the linux kernel folks do with bitkeeper.
This is a truely decentralized way of working, unlike the way we used to work
with CVS.

This is the beginning of a new way of cooperation in the libcroco project, so I
expect some little troubles. But I hope that we will gain a *lot* on the long run.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this.

Regards,

Dodji.
