The only requirements that would need to be fulfilled for it to go into debian, would be source, a licence that does not restrict the usage of the code/ package, and a distinct lack of invariant sections in the license. (a real debian developer can probably elaborate better than i) >=20 > I'm curious as to why you would think this is better than the CVS gateway= . > The CVS gateway is actually a really nice thing.

I should try again really, but i would hope that the openBKClient could be faster, better and more modern (oh, and sexy too) (and would mean that you don't need the cvs gateway anymore!) >=20 > So what's the attraction?

It doesn't have 1/10th the functionality of BK itse= lf. yep. and for me, until i do some actual kernel development (unlikely as i just can't find the time), this is all i think i want - i should be able to do a bit more testing this way. cheers Sven --=-oldyKKlYIFLfgTW3QDXQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/uqMDPAwzu0QrW+kRAoQDAKCjtUmxqZYc1xLK50Enia/Cr+LUjwCfYmFe gEkWCM5P9v6R9l+N18pjFAk= =mkMR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-oldyKKlYIFLfgTW3QDXQ--
