bitkeeper

[Cameron, Steve]

Hi, everybody.  (I'm not trying to start a flamewar here, really.)

I couldn't help but notice the recent discussion/flamewar about the
bitkeeper license changes over on LKML.  These changes, as I
understand them, impact anybody who develops or distributes
software deemed to compete with bitkeeper.

In my experience, powerpc linux development seems to rely
on bitkeeper much more so than the regular linux kernel
development, by which I mean that if you want to keep up
to date with powerpc linux kernel, you pretty much have to
use bitkeeper, or at least that's been my experience.   And,
since I have personally contributed to CVS development in
the past, and odds are, will again in the future, I thknk
maybe this means I can't use bitkeeper anymore (well, not for free).
So that leaves me in a bit of a tight spot.

So, I was wondering if there are any plans to say, mirror
the development linux powerpc bitkeeper tree as a tar.bz2
on a more regular basis, like the regular linux kernel
development team does?  Or perhaps someone is already
doing that, and I just don't know about it?

This is not exactly urgent for me right now, as I've not
been working on powerpc lately, but probably will be getting
back to it sometime not far away.  If I'm the only one in this
position perhaps it would be possible for me to get an up-to-date
tree from someone on an as-needed basis?

Thanks,

If you're unclear on the bitkeeper license I'd suggest you ask Larry.  I'm
sure he'd be happy to answer any questions on the license and how it
affects your situation.

MontaVista already provides rsync access to the PPC bk trees. See
http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml for more details.

I am behind firewall. I can use neither rsync nor bk. I miss tar.bz2 packet.

BK works over http also and can be used with a http proxy.

export http_proxy=http://proxy:80

Do not forget the port number BK do not try on port 80 by default as a
lot of other programs do.
