Hi, everybody. (I'm not trying to start a flamewar here, really.) I couldn't help but notice the recent discussion/flamewar about the bitkeeper license changes over on LKML. These changes, as I understand them, impact anybody who develops or distributes software deemed to compete with bitkeeper.
In my experience, powerpc linux development seems to rely on bitkeeper much more so than the regular linux kernel development, by which I mean that if you want to keep up to date with powerpc linux kernel, you pretty much have to use bitkeeper, or at least that's been my experience. And, since I have personally contributed to CVS development in the past, and odds are, will again in the future, I thknk maybe this means I can't use bitkeeper anymore (well, not for free). So that leaves me in a bit of a tight spot. So, I was wondering if there are any plans to say, mirror the development linux powerpc bitkeeper tree as a tar.bz2 on a more regular basis, like the regular linux kernel development team does? Or perhaps someone is already doing that, and I just don't know about it? This is not exactly urgent for me right now, as I've not been working on powerpc lately, but probably will be getting back to it sometime not far away. If I'm the only one in this position perhaps it would be possible for me to get an up-to-date tree from someone on an as-needed basis? Thanks, -- steve ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
