<EM>> A uniform directory a la Freshmeat is a great idea, but sourceforge
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> worries me because it represents a single point of failure.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>Yes, I agree it is risky to keep so many eggs in one basket. But on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the other hand it is just a copy of the eggs, not the eggs themselves.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
(As most free software is available from FTP sites all over the world,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the mailing lists are in peoples mailboxes).
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I believe the SANE would do better with a problem tracking system, to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
make it easier for people to know what is working and what is not, and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to make it easier for developers to remember which bugs are still
|
|
<BR>
|
|
hiding in the source.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I also believe a patch manager system is a good thing, to make sure
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the patches are remembered. I know it is is a pain to search my
|
|
<BR>
|
|
mailbox and the mailing list archive to check if all the patches are
|
|
<BR>
|
|
checked before making a release.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Getting these things for free seems like a good deal. I'm sure it is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
better in some ways to have our own, but it is also worse as we do not
|
|
<BR>
|
|
seem to have the resources to set it up in the first place, and do not
|
|
<BR>
|
|
know if anyone will be able to maintain it later (which of course do
|
|
<BR>
|
|
not not know about Sourceforge as well. :-).
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I don't know. It is parhaps not the most pressing problem at the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
moment, but seeing how the CVS repository speeded up the SANE project,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I believe more state of the art tools for software development would
|
|
<BR>
|
|
give even more improvements.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>(Which reminds me. We should have a regression testing system to make
|
|
<BR>
|
|
sure old bugs do not sneak back in unnoticed. Any volunteers? :-)
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>BTW: Did anyone actually step in to help David with the mailing list
|
|
<BR>
|
|
maintainence?
|
|
<BR>
