[dcplusplus-devel] Distributed vcs

[Jacek S. <arn...@gm...>]

I'm curious to try out distributed vcs and DC++ seems like a reasonably sized project to try it on...

>From what I read, this should bring advantages to all mod devs because it'll be easier for them to
merge their branches and it should make it easier for frequent contributors for the same reasons.

In the beginning at least, I wouldn't change too much in the development process, i e one central
repository for the main dc++ distribution and patches to mailing list or launchpad. Once I and the
main committers become more familiar with the new tools, we could move to a better process if one
exists for our specific needs.

That said, I can't decide which one to pick - Bazaar or Hg. They're both similar and I can't decide
which one is better. Hg seems to have the technical edge while bazaar is possibly more user friendly
but I've never used either of them so if anyone has any experience...?

It seems like both can be more or less set up to work on sf.net (putting them in the public web
space and pushing changes through ssh) - bazaar could also be deployed on launchpad while theres
sharesource.org for mercurial...

And no, I don't like git (from a documentation point of view, I've never used that either).
