[Quantlib-dev] Source control of Quantlib external development

[Simon I. <Sim...@fs...>]

Hi,

I've been trying to work out the best way of maintaining my changes to
the QuantLib code. Some of these changes will never be made public for a
variety of reasons - but I still need to maintain a version control of
these changes. Therefore, this version control will - of necessity -
have to be outside Sourceforge.

The approach advocated by Subversion would be to do vendor drops into a
local repository - I've done this before but I lose the version history
and it makes it difficult to merge changes (both my changes and
Sourceforge changes).

I see Bojan Nikolic has a blog where he talks about using Bazaar to do
this - through the Launchpad service - but this appears to be currently
suspended. I also see that Luigi has place a mirror of Quantlib trunk on
github.com - but this does not appear to have QuantLibAddin or Excel
interfaces.

Can anyone give me some advice about which approach to take? Bazaar or
Git (or some other technique).

Even if you just reply with one sentence - telling me which approach you
take - that would be very useful.

Thanks,
Simon
