I’m sure there’s not /too/ much work involved. Basically, 1) replace mysql_* by mysqli_* (if used), 2) depending on the target version, add default parameters (PHP 8 prefers a slightly different syntax). > I am thinking to retire the mercurial repository. I think it is pretty clear > that nowadays git is the preferred VCS of choice for most programmers. Most programmers use Git because they aren’t granted any choice. It’s mostly: Git or nothing. I, for one, wouldn’t touch Git with a ten-foot pole. Compared to Mercurial and SVN (which I, personally, prefer for bazaar projects…), it is highly unreliable to use, only roughly compatible with Windows and its user interface is a horrible mess. Although I use Git for my Vim builds (I moved away from Mercurial last year or so - there were problems fetching updates and I was too impatient to track them down), I can only suggest to *not* retire the mirror. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
