Hi, Just wondering whether anyone had thought about moving the R sources to a "distributed" version control system such as Bazaar, Git or Mercurial. These new generation systems make it easier to work on feature branches, allow working offline, are very fast, etc.
Some projects that have moved to Git are Linux Kernel Perl Ruby on Rails ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) Some projects that have moved to Bazaar (bzr) are Ubuntu MySQL Inkscape ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazaar_(software) Some projects that have moved to Mercurial (hg) are Mozilla Octave Python ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercurial_(software) Joel Spolky's take on it: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2010/03/17.html Regards -Felix -- Felix Andrews / 安福立 Postdoctoral Fellow Integrated Catchment Assessment and Management (iCAM) Centre Fenner School of Environment and Society [Bldg 48a] The Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 Australia M: +61 410 400 963 T: + 61 2 6125 4670 E: felix.andr...@anu.edu.au CRICOS Provider No. 00120C -- http://www.neurofractal.org/felix/ ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
