I have had bad luck in the past trying to maintai= n=20 monotone/darcs/mercurial mirrors. I can't easily test git-p4 since I don't= =20 have p4 access (to FreeBSD nor any other large project). In any case: If there is a usable method of keeping a distributed SCM=20 up-to-date with what's in p4, then I would like to donate some=20 bandwidth/resources needed to run it (if that is the problem). If git-p4=20 works well and there is any possibility of getting a read-only p4 account,= =20 I'll set up a git mirror, if that helps. I am of the opinion that the availability of development features in some k= ind=20 of scm that is publicly available makes it a lot easier to test things in=20 response to general requests made on -current. In addition, having that publicly available scm be distributed means that i= t=20 becomes significantly easier for people to experiment with making their own= =20 changes to the code base, which can only be good. =2D-=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --nextPart52380349.RMokNK4WXU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHynCXDNor2+l1i30RArdQAJ9ZIKrOEq/LXL0t7H/IfBcruxhndwCggBiR pghKUMwAjXBiKyDi1APSXHo= =yr3b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart52380349.RMokNK4WXU--
