I guess it is always possible to check out the sourceforge CVS tree and implant it into your own CVS repository as a "vendor branch". The subsequent changes by the mainstream developers can be not only imported into the "vendor branch" but also applied to the local main branch. Even better, the original CVS tree can be converted into a Subversion "vendor branch" tree by using a certain script from the Subversion project. Another script exists in the same project that will recognize file name changes in the updated "vendor branch", so that the same changes would be intelligently re-applied by Subversion to your own branch. In any way, local changes can co-exist with the mainstream changes in the local repository. I think the GPL licence would then mandate to make at least the local snapshot available at request as soon as its results are traded. -- Ilguiz Latypov home +1 (519) 569-8746 cell +1 (519) 998-2865 66 Wildlark Crescent Kitchener, Ontario N2N 3E9 |
