If you see the logs, the last fix changeset 9039 was added while i was away. Anyone can add patches to the tree, just that i need to pull back the changes from that person. For example: while i was away, somebody else did a clone of the same tree and added the patches. > This could only happen if you have your code under linuxtv.org and or > merged it completely to v4l-dvb! There are 2 development models, a centralized style (CVS/SVN etc) and a distributed style (mercurial/git etc). The centralized model, offers a CVS tree or a SVN tree to which multiple people have commit access to. This was how the old DVB and dvb-kernel CVS trees worked. But this centralized development model was phased out quite long back, in favour of a distributed model. The distributed development model works the same from any place. Person A makes the changes to his local tree and those changes can be pulled in to the working repository. > You are the maintainer of multiproto and > So nobody could work on it in your absence time! As i pointed out just above, somebody else did a clone of the tree and added in some changes that people sent to the ML. I can pull in those changes as what is applicable from that tree. This is how distributed development works. > Sorry this sounds not ok to me. I don't have any problem in using whatever SCM, but it makes it a little bit easier for the user to have some similarities between development trees. Maybe if more people are for a centralized repository, then people should voice concern as to change the SCM. This has nothing to do with me. > Anyway the problem is nobody should leave linuxtv.org project. > We should now stop this and go on. > Please !!!!!!!!! > Thanks for your great work!
