[Pkg-electronics-devel] Enabling an Alioth SCM repository for our project

[Wesley J. Landaker]

Sounds like everyone is pretty happy with the status-quo, so I guess let's 
just shelve this idea for now. 

I think Gudjon's suggestion to just use the umbrella "collab-maint" alioth 
project as a repository for any people+packages that want do collaborative 
SCM is an excellent one. This way, those who want to benefit from shared SCM 
have the option, but we don't have to set anything up specifically for our 
team, and no one is obliged to use something they find undesirable.

BTW, just a quick pitch for *personal* SCM:

Even if there is not a shared SCM, I do ALL my work using some sort of 
SCM--even for quick & dirty hacks. With tools like Bzr, Hg, and Git (I prefer 
them in that order) it's insanely simple and fast. Even if you are not 
interested in using them for collaboration, they are incredibly useful just 
to personally manage in-progress changes. If you don't already know how to 
use one of these tools, I strongly recommend taking some time to learn how to 
use one (or more) of them just for your own benefit. =)
