Sure, that's my point, pretty much - for a user grabbing a tarball it's immaterial where the contents of the taball come from so long as they correspond to the software they want. A change from hg to git wouldn't affect them so long as the tarballs continue to be provided and provide access to current ALSA code. If your concern is more that people using the tarball will be using it in combination with an unknown distribution kernel rather than the rest of the tree (assuming ALSA decides to change to git and go for a full kernel tree, which I hope happens) then surely this isn't much of a change from the current situation? _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
