Re: [Qucs-devel] Move to GIT

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Guilherme,

I think we will keep the github and sf repository, but making them both git
will make syncing the two very easy.
It is abolutely no problem to create a mirror on the gmane list, but it
will just be a mirror. I think we shouldn't use too many tools and websites
as "official resources" because that diverts our project too much.
I am currently moving into a new house, so this weekend (while I am also
without internet) I am not going to do any of those actions.
I promised to do some things (like merging from github) but that is really
difficult from a phone.
Frans
