I'm arguing precisely against the shunting aside of separate subprojects
to which Arch's alleged capabilities contributed. I see both processes
as therefore being dependent.
I doubt whether many of the changes being made in, for example, the spad
parts of Axiom are relevant to the purely system related issues of the
Windows sub-project and therefore it is an unnecessary step to have to
back port into the sub-project only to have to merge later on into the
main arch tree and then further merge into CVS, otherwise facing the
possibility of being out-of-date with important bug fixes.
I am also saying that Arch is useless on Windows.
Believe me, if you don't like tla on Unix platforms, you would abhor it
under Windows. The only way I was able to undo the mess it made of my
file system under Cygwin (exacerbated I admit by a network domain change
which stuffed up) was to spend hours changing file permissions and
renaming directories to Windows acceptable file name lengths on two
different computers.
Furthermore I was never able to get ssh commits working with Arch.
It will take a very good reason for me ever to use Arch again.
Cheers
