My life has been been pretty uncumbered by "primary" objectives and various pointless events for the last month or so, so I didn't even see the discussion. That's why I choose to answer in this thread, even if very late. My own opinion, as someone who just discovered the main repos tools after a few months using the [community] tools only: THEY ROCK. There seem by far technically superior: way cleaner and based on ssh, subversion, etc. That being said, it takes time to discover them, and they don't provide a BIG gain of time as a user. So I think the biggest point is the maintaining issues: is the effort necessary to switch worth ending the duplication of changes in the repos db format? As I have absolutely no idea, I abstain. -- Geoffroy Carrier PS : back to Java and VirtualBox. It's a sunny day :)
