I have had bad luck in the past trying to maintain monotone/darcs/mercurial mirrors. I can't easily test git-p4 since I don't have p4 access (to FreeBSD nor any other large project). In any case: If there is a usable method of keeping a distributed SCM up-to-date with what's in p4, then I would like to donate some bandwidth/resources needed to run it (if that is the problem). If git-p4 works well and there is any possibility of getting a read-only p4 account, I'll set up a git mirror, if that helps. I am of the opinion that the availability of development features in some kind of scm that is publicly available makes it a lot easier to test things in response to general requests made on -current. In addition, having that publicly available scm be distributed means that it becomes significantly easier for people to experiment with making their own changes to the code base, which can only be good. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey_at_scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
