From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jim Kingdon To: sourcenav@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Update on source code availability Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 12:00:00 -0000 Message-id: <200005221900.PAA23194@devserv.devel.redhat.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-q2/msg00006.html Lots of people have noticed that Red Hat are planning to open source Source Navigator (I think the fact that it got mentioned in a press release might have something to do with it :-)). Some of them have also noticed that it isn't up for download yet (I hate it when people are that perceptive ;-)). Here's the status report as I understand it: * We are expecting to release it just as soon as we can. Therefore, frills like having an RPM package as well as sources might have to wait until after the initial release. * It is hard to say when, or be sure that it will be soon. When taking a project from closed to open there are various issues to be dealt with, and some of them go on "lawyer time" instead of "internet time", unfortunately. If you want to be kept informed, please join the sourcenav and/or sourcenav-announce mailing lists. The former can also be used for discussions (anyone want to put up a betting pool about when the release will be ;-))? Details at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/lists.html . Likewise if you know anyone who is wondering, have them subscribe.
