Sure hope it includes every platform that anyone who should be a
checkin-permitted core developer would want to use, including any
new ones that emerge between now and then (noting that things like
new versions of system libraries make new platforms as far as
binary-only commercial software is concerned). This pretty much
implies that, as long as perl6 lasts, the company supporting
perforce must remain in business and remain friendly. They own the
code, and we can't support it.
I'm really sorry to see people so anxious to favour commercial,
proprietary tools, even in this arena, but since the plan seems to
include maintaining a synchronized CVS repository replicating all
checkins with full log info including change user, time, and
comments, it's not that big a worry; should perforce go castors up
we can simply drop it and carry on with something supportable.
