You can pull from git://gitorious.org/pyrite/mainline.git or http://git.gitorious.org/pyrite/mainline.git ( I think I will use gitorious for hosting since tuxfamily doesn't have an http clones, although I will sort-of miss the RSS feed). Why such a timid name? This is because it has taken me longer than I wanted to reach a point where I felt others could reasonably use and contribute to the project. There is still much work to be done before it is ready for a general purpose release. However, I need to see if people are really interested in both helping develop and, more importantly, using Pyrite and I feel that getting a release out there will help me gauge that. When I started this project, I had a good idea of what I wanted to accomplish but I wasn't entirely sure how I would do it. At this point I have an idea of how the interface should be presented and I will work to get it right. I hope people will have input on what improvements they would like to see to the UI. Other things that I want to do before making a general purpose release is to tie up some loose ends like proper rebasing and a graphical merge tool (at least support for external merge tools). That's just the tip of the iceberg though since I have plans to also do a gui and a web interface. Feel free to contact me about this if you are interested in using, testing or developing. Thanks, Govind.
