Launchpad is entirely free software now (contrary to an earlier plan you may have heard of which involved holding back a couple of components; that plan was later discarded). I haven't thought much about whether it would be actively better for GRUB development, but I don't think there's an ideological reason preventing it nowadays. I'd be overjoyed to make use of Bazaar for GRUB development; I use it for as many Ubuntu projects as possible, and these days for most of my personal projects too since it generally does a good job of not getting in my way. It would be easiest to do so if the Debian source package were maintained in it too, as a straightforward branch of the appropriate upstream revision; that way, it would be possible to simply 'bzr merge' changes. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
