I think the ease of use is a subjective issue; I find arch far easier to use :-). Secondly, rapid development is not necessarily a positive; as long as a tool does the job it is supposed to do, there is no real reason for changes to be made rapidly. Arch is in maintainence mode, and security flaws would tend to get fixed, so it is not as if it is abandoned upstream. I am waiting for sub projects (or whatever git calls them) to get better supported in the porcelain before I would like to move the policy over to git; I am thinking about splitting up sub policies to their own arch project (menu, Perl, python, etc subpolicies) creating a separate book. This way, using arch configs one may stitch up multiple independent repositories into a single package, which creates a set of books. It takes me about 6 months to get comfortable with a new VCS system; and to build the scaffolding around it to suit my workflow, and I would rather not spend the time now switching; but I think there are tools that would allow a parallel git tree to be maintained from a set of arch repositories? manoj -- But if you wish at once to do nothing and to be respectable nowdays, the best pretext is to be at work on some profound study. -- Leslie Stephen, "Sketches from Cambridge" Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.debian.org/~srivasta/> 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
