Back online...

[irox]

Hi all,

Sorry about my unannounced absence for the last month
or so.  I no longer work for Red Hat and I moved to
Santa Cruz, then had to fight with SBC to turn on my
DSL line (the longest block of time I gone without
internet access since the early 90s...).


The first thing I'd like to talk about is Copyright
assignments.  While I was still working for RH I
brought the idea of making Source-Navigator a
multi-copyright holder project to as many people in
RH as I could.  This would mean people who contribute
code to Source-Navigator don't have to sign over thier
copyrights to Red Hat.  I was never able to get a firm
yes or no from anybody, but I would like to implement
this (long over due) change anyway.


What's happening with "libSN" (or whatever it was called)?
I'd prefer to wait until there is something to show before
creating a CVS modules for it.


Anyway, with contributions from Khamis, Mo and myself
we should be able turn out a new SN release.  At somepoint
I'll go over the last month or so of the mailing list and
apply any patches I've missed, reply to any interesting
emails, etc..

Thanks for your patience,
and a big thanks to everybody who answered email
on this list over the last month. :-)

Ian.

Hi Ian,

welcome you back. hopefully you enjoy the time in santa cruz.

Since you left redhat, is there anybody who still deal with SN in redhat 
(Mo)?

As you see, I packaged all my stuff and released SN50E. It contains
the bug fixes, parsers and the gui rework to SN50. I think, this is a 
good base
to start from. We kann put all the stuff on SourceForge and continue
developing SN. This in relation with the question, if redhat will allow
us to have access to the SN-cvs tree?

The CVS Tree contains Tcl/Tk8.3 and SN50 is released with Tcl/Tk8.1.
My question here, do we need to always upgrade to the newest tcl/tk
release? Because upgrading takes the most time and since we do not
have alot of time to work on SN, the benefit will go to improve SN.

I too think it is about time this change was made. The copyright
stuff has been standing in the way of progress for far too long.
We should add a tag to the CVS to mark the last point where
assignment to Red Hat was the norm and move on. If anyone
objects, we could always make a tar ball and move everything
to sourceforge.
