Tridge Releases BitKeeper-Compatible Tool

Posted by Zonk on from the taking-it-to-the-next-level dept.

Peter Willis writes "Looking at Freshmeat today (a part of OSTG) it seems Andrew Tridgell has released the BitKeeper-compatible source code management client mentioned on slashdot recently, called SourcePuller. As part of the downloads available for the project you can also get dump files which detail how to pull data from BK trees without the use of libsp. From the README: 'SourcePuller is not intended to be a full replacement for BitKeeper. Instead, you should use SourcePuller as an interoperability tool for situations where you cannot use bk itself. SourcePuller is missing a large amount of core functionality from BitKeeper, and thus is not suitable as a full replacement.'" Article available about the release on The Register.

    Honestly, in the years I've been reading /. there were like a couple of mentions a year about Bitkeeper, now since Linus switched away, it's bitkeeper this and bitkeeper that! I swear you guys would jump off a fucking bridge if Linus told you to. Fucking fanboys....

      I think it's pretty clear that most people in the FOSS community were NOT happy with Linus' choice to use BitKeeper. Get a clue.

    Just wanted to note that Andrew Orlowski who is the San Francisco Bureau Chief of the Register has got to have written some of the most flame fest style articles out there.

    Apparently your I.Q. and personality do, too! Oh, did I bruise your fragile sophomore ego? Sorry about that. You can go back to home ec now, or is it time for you to sit out of gym class again?
