Re: [Libquicktime-devel] why not migrate cvs to git ? and libquicktime on github

[Burkhard P. <bur...@ig...>]

Hi,

I'm aware that sourceforge closed CVS. I didn't make the transition because the
project activity in the past months is close to zero and I'm busy with other things.

Of course I support the idea to move to git. The question is if it should be on sourceforge
or github? Are there any opinions about that?
I'd be ok with any solution (including moving the whole project away from SF) as long as
a volunteer does it :)

I'm not sure about the user base of libquicktime. I stopped using it myself several years ago.
