Hi,

I have moved the hosting of the Closer projects (MOP Feature Tests, Closer to MOP, ContextL, Filtered Functions, AspectL, LW Compat) to sourceforge. I also switched from darcs hosting to git hosting.

You can find the software now at http://sourceforge.net/p/closer/_list/git

All libraries have received new version numbers based on semantic versioning.

The mailing lists will from now on also be hosted at sourceforge. Please subscribe to the mailing lists at http://sourceforge.net/p/closer/mailman/ if you are interested.

The information on the Closer webpage at http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/ has also been updated accordingly.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Pascal

Pascal,

there are nice repo conversion tools that retain repo history.

if losing the history was not deliberate, then let me know and i can
help with the darcs->git conversion.

Attila, is this tool public? I am interested in such a tool.

Best regards,

yep, this one first, and there's a second option if there are any
issues with it:

Attila,

Thanks a lot for the offer.

Do you think that keeping the history is important?

Off the top of my hat, I cannot come up with any reasons why it might be…

Oh. Particularly when commit messages are good, history is quite
important. It can answer questions like "who did this?" (so you can
bug the right person with your questions), or "how did this work
before?" (e.g. if a regression was introduced, you can recover the
previous behaviour and study its code, not to mention that you can find
regressions more or less automatically with things like git bisect)
and many others.

there's little i can add to that. besides maybe aesthetics: why write
a nice piece of code, if its history is not fully retained for the
historians of the future, or for you when you will tell the war
stories to your curious grandchildren from the stone age of CS?

oh, and i must add, that the lisp opensource fairies are especially
nice and quick in this thread.

thank you guys! :)
