Erm. It may be a good thing I didn't change AxiomSources. I was under
the impression we were going to the following for "official" use:
Silver: GIT/svn
Gold: CVS
ARCH, as I understand it, is not really undergoing active development
any more. I think in such a case we should not encourage active work
in that tool. If we want an alternative to CVS for Gold and we want to
keep SVN for development only, I would suggest adding a GIT repository
for Gold as well. (Maybe a branch?)
Darcs and Mercurial can stay put as alternatives - Bill is syncing them
to something and they are actively developed tools. ARCH, however,
seems to have become a bit of a dead end unless I am behind the times.
Can we at least make a tiered structure:
Tier1: As above. The default "public face" for Axiom sources.
Tier2: "Alternative" methods. Darcs, Mercurial, etc.
Tier3: The "archive" page, listing all branches and systems tried with
Axiom. If anyone gets that far, presumably they know what they are
doing.
Cheers,
CY
