I see that you only checked in Source-Navigator and it's Database. What about the rest of the components? are you waiting until you are finished with the 5.1 Release? Since there is noboy who works on SN in redhat, we should define a fix date to switch to the SourceForge mailing list. If you add me to the admin and cvs list I would share you the work. However I want to release a patch to SN50E that fixes some problems, this would be the last change from my side until 5.1 is released. khamis Paul Selormey wrote: >Hello Mo, >What I do not understand here is that, you or the other former >members of the team do not favor GPL.
