Re: [Quantlib-dev] Reorganization of Git repository

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi all,
    Eric and I just finished splitting the QuantLib git repository in
smaller modules. The main forks for the new, smaller repos are:

QuantLib: https://github.com/lballabio/QuantLib
QuantLib-SWIG: https://github.com/lballabio/QuantLib-SWIG
reposit: https://github.com/eehlers/reposit
QuantLibAddin: https://github.com/eehlers/QuantLibAddin
QuantLibXL: https://github.com/eehlers/QuantLibXL

Eric's modules refer to the new reposit build.  The old build is still
hosted at https://github.com/eehlers/quantlib for the time being.

For those of you that had forked the old repository, see the instructions
at http://quantlib.org/forkmigration.shtml for migrating any modifications
you want to keep.

Thanks for your patience,
    Luigi
