Greetings comrades,

I  am proposing a migration of all mercurial to git repositories. Git is
mature and used by nearly all major OSS  projects.  Mercurial  has  this
slow  prototyping  dependency  of Python, which is annoying and could be
removed that way. Of course git is still(?) adding a perl dependency.  I
hope this can be removed from git.

My  proposal  is  to  rename  hg.suckless.org to git.suckless.org. There
might be some other (better) versioning system in the future, which will
need  another  domain.  Only  the  hard  reality of »Connection refused«
forces a fast migration.

Dpb  on IRC showed me [0], which seems to do a near to perfect import of
the old hg history. Anyone had bad experiences with this?

For  the web interface on git.suckless.org I am proposing cgit, which is
fast and written in C.

How are your thoughts, comrades?


Sincerely,

Christoph Lohmann
