[Savannah-help-public] [sr #104924] Arch repository for the ArX project

[Sylvain Beucler]

Follow-up Comment #4, sr #104924 (project administration):

The main issue with providing vanilla sFTP access, is that any project member
can modify your project history. That's why we provide partial sftp access.

I see that ArX is a fork from larch and not tla; how much compatible are the
archive formats?

The problem with supporting a GNU Arch variant is that there's no reason,
then, we do not support the others. For example, in the event we provide
ArchZoom, we'd have to replace tla by baz to support baz-style archives. It's
also possible we have to tweak sftp some more to support the Arch variants.

That's why, afaimc, I'd rather stick with GNU Arch v1.x. While, possibly,
provide an experimental, distinct area for other SCMs, provided we have the
manpower for it (that's the benefit of sticking with a stable release:
updates are rare and benign :)) 

mjflick, what's your point on this?
