I brought this up on #audit but the conversation didn't go anywhere.

It would be nice if there could be some form of source code control for the changes that occur between revisions of the userspace tools.

Is development internally to RedHat done using any form of source code control? Or is the development more ad-hoq?

Full public source code control would perhaps be beneficial in terms of fostering community development. Failing this, just having the diffs per discret change included in each release would be very helpful.

Possible?

Thanks

Tony

Maybe in 2 weeks I'll look for a place to put it. I have some tight deadlines that I might miss if I get distracted right now. I'm not opposed to the idea...just not right now. :)

A publicly accessible git tree would be nice. :)

(Of course, that's only if 'git' is the native storage, or if there's a per-commit export to it - a git repository that has a changelog that reads 'import 1.1.3', 'import 1.1.4', etc isn't much help....)

Right, it needs to be per discrete change (feature and bugfix) which clearly may have an impact on how internal development is done.

I don't care if it's git, svn, cvs or just a directory per release containing a set of discrete patches.

Unless there is some scc inside of redhat, I'm guessing it's too late for past releases and this will just be for going forward.

Thanks!
