Since Matju has stated that desire is a fork, I think it would be most beneficial to all of us, including the desire people, if it used its own repository.
do you want to restrict their access to the pd cvs? what would be the benifits of a desire repository for the dd devs? and for the pd devs (well, taking into account, that miller doesn't use the cvs for his development works)? wasn't the initial purpose of the pd sf repository a way to avoid duplicate developments (i'm really curious, as i haven't been involved with pd at that time)?
pd-devel is already pretty far afield for being a branch,
but pd-devel is still allowed to stay in the sf cvs?
it seems to have many changes that are never intended to be merged into the main.
come on, this has been overdiscussed in the past... i guess everyone can read about everything on this in the pd-dev archive of the last two years...
i don't really care if vanilla/devel/desire are forks, branches, use the same repository or different ones, or if the developers work together, against each other, or don't care what they are doing, but there is a really interesting article about 'floss developers as a social formation' (http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue9_11/lehmann/index.html).
cheers ... tim
ps: hans, please don't mind my grumpy mails ... we owe each others a few bottles of beer/glasses of wine, though :)
