Florian asked:
what's the status on using CVS?
I have a list of patches going back a long way. I am interested in merging that into a CVS source tree. However my time is limited and I can't promise a deadline. The good news is that I have started using CVS at work, which means that I am getting up to speed on it.
I am really afraid that we will branch too much with the allegro branch.
This is probably true, but CVS won't solve this problem. Many people have wanted to rewrite the code base, bit so far no one has had the combination of time, energy, and skill. However, I agree that once we have mqade a fork of the old program that we want to go ahead with, CVS would be essential. I can make this happen for the old code base, since several people have brought this up, I guess I better move on it! :-) For the new code base, we need a good starting point. Tim
