Oleksandr,
if I download a tarball every night and put it into some git repository, the whole thing is useless.
How do you expect us to work with code and track bugs if we do not have a source tree with concrete revisions?
You have never worked with VCS, have you? I have the impression that you don't really have any experience with developing a project in a community.
Even though debian publishes tar.gz as well, they definitely have VCS respositories (a friend of mine is Debian developer) - because else it would almost IMPOSSIBLE to track issues and contribute.
But I am really tired of explaining that again and again. You don't see the advantage or you don't want to see it. As I said, I could setup a git and download your tar.gz files every night (I cannot do more than that I'm afraid) to import the stuff, but it would probably be quite useless.
"Hey devs, I want to file a bug I found in x2golistsessions in the tar.gz I downloaded on July 12th, 12:34 UTC." *haha* That will be the kind of bug reports I can give you. Doesn't make sense, does it?
You have decided to go on with a close development and we probably have no other chance than accepting it.
It's sad that we have all this trouble and so much ideas and innovation and energy gets lost because you cannot take those two minutes to get your stuff (and commit history!) into a repo as paul suggested.
You have wasted hours of my time and made me frustrated as hell just because you aren't able to hold your promise and do us all a favor that takes you only 5 minutes. If I'd only have a small chance to do it myself...but I haven't. We are all asking for a small thing that could make a big improvement for all of us, but please understand that even if somebody else setups the repository, you'd still have to contribute and give him a snapshot of the dev branch with the history of commits.
I am moving on to some other project, I have done all I could do for you. And I am out of energy.
Jörg

I am sorry that you had to spend your time to answer my message. I have to admit, that I am not a lawyer and that I did not read every single message in all threads. But from the messages I read I think they had some facts.
That is what I mean, if I say, that he try to damage our reputation. There are a lot of people in the list, who didn't read all of this stuff and think, that we try to hide something from community. But we don't.
I sent my other message with the Git proposal some minutes ago before I read your message. If you do not want that, please reply shortly with
»Please take no actions. The Git repository will be published after the Baikal release.«I am sorry about your sleepless nights and hope everything will turn out good.
It's ok. It is a good idea and have nothing to do with our GIT. Our GIT will only represent source that we publishing on our site. But GIT that you mean will although include work of other people. It is possible to install this GIT right now. Actually it was always possible to install it and it can do anyone who have community respect.
Thanks,
Paul
