[ft-devel] about github.com/mpsuzuki/svg-native-viewer (Re: I would draft some documents to build SVG Native Viewer...)

[suzuki toshiya]

Hi,

My forked repository of SVG Native Viewer
https://github.com/mpsuzuki/svg-native-viewer
, for the development of Cairo backend, has 2 important branches;
one is master, which is not changed from Adobe's original master branch,
another is cairo branch, which is my work-in-progress branch.
cairo branch is very frequently rebased to catch up to Adobe.

Within a few weeks, the "master" branch of my repository would be
changed for my own development, for continuous integration test.

I think nobody uses the master branch in my repository to refer
Adobe's original master, but if anybody does such accidentally,
please prepare yourself. Maybe add Adobe's repository as another
remote repository and change the upstream to it would help you.

Sorry for your inconvenience.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
