sources.gentoo.org is a much worse (and slower) solution than cvs log. The main advantage of a ChangeLog (and of git) is that it allows you to check the history locally, without needing access to the network. >> All this is such a massive waste of time.

(b) Not urgent. And if we decide, hey, let's move to git instead of having this discussion, the current situation is also: (c) A waste of everyone's time. So no, future plans are not independent of the current situation, and a move to git *is* a way to deal with the current situation. In effect, we kill (at least) two birds with one stone and prevent a lot of argument and bad blood. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
