Not quite firefox or linux standards, but then we are not talking about a consumer item (the source, that is). I was quite pleasantly surprised by the number and apparent level of interest. It is a good argument against anyone who thinks eCos is dead. It also raised something I did not think about. As people look like they are using the repo already, there is a good argument for also providing patches through the mechanisms hg provides. I would be interested to know whether you are still sticking with email, or whether you intend to start using bugzilla, since I could start work on a template to give you maintainers some idea of what support you should expect from your DRCS in the provision of patches and contributions. hg has both email and bugzilla support, BTW :-) I would also look to preserve the changeset IDs if you were to convert from hg to git, or if you chose hg, clone rather than export/import, so as not to inconvenience those who have already started using the repo. As an aside, I am glad people are finding it useful - makes my efforts worthwhile and feel appreciated. Even more, I am very pleased our small Dell SC1425 did not appear to blink - hgwebdir.cgi is better than I thought :-) Cheers -- Alex Schuilenburg Managing Director/CEO eCosCentric Limited www.ecoscentric.com
