Just a comment to your blog about VCS packaging in Fedora

[Matej Cepl]

Take a look at the bottom of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/VersionControl/ArchitectureDraft -- it has been last updated on 2006-07-23. That's ancient history in the fast flowing Fedora world. In the last year or so I have never ever heard anybody mention other DVCS than git. Aside from bzr coming from THEM :-), there is such overwhelming majority of git users over anybody else, that nothing else than git is just not an option for distributed VCS.

There are periodically flamewars about switching our packaging to DVCS
(hell, I would be glad if we use at least CVS correctly), but usually
there are good reasons why it is rejected. See for example
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/68551/ and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/56870/ or
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/48106/ for
examples of such flamewars. However, people are still working around
this (and yes, I know personally about many many people inside of Red
Hat who use git-cvsimport for their own packages) -- see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/71048

Best,

Matěj
