I am currently looking into how to merge/handle the projects 
(g2gui/core) best. Actually the thought to move mldonkey to berlios has 
been in the room for quite a while now, so that berlios will also 
provide the new mldonkey.net stuff once completed.
There have been thoughts about "never break a running system" however, 
but now as savannah is quite much down, this seems about to be the right 
time.
There were also background issues (savannah==fsf), but berlios is also 
backed by some major german institutions.

Ultimately its still b8_bavard's decision, as he is the core-creator.

Berlios (and other sf-like sites) usually handle multiple modules of a 
project well. I am currently looking in how good the handling actually 
is (patches/bugs/releasefiles). At least CVS is unproblematic. So I 
would not call the whole stuff "temporary" for now ;-) - at least until 
I checked it thouroughly.

G2gui is filling an important gap in mldonkey: a crossplatform (frienly, 
yadda yadda, i know mlgui isn't thaat bad) gui. And actually it was 
planned from the beginning to merge with mldonkey at some time (though I 
am not sure if its already the time, but why not have both projects at 
least under one hat).

About the CVS-stuff and only the HEAD being available: We've (actually 
b8_bavard and savannah, that is) not had a backup of the 
/cvsroot/mldonkey directory which contains all stuff like diffs and tags.
Once we get it from savannah, it will be imported to berlios.


Bye for now,
