Re: [Irssi-xmpp-dev] Created a irssi-xmpp bzr mirror on launchpad

Since the project likes to use cvs, which I fully respect, I made the bzr mirror to a real mirror of the project. The bzr mirror is hosted on launchpad (since they have these kind of mirror sevices) and is updated once or twice a day.

To get the branch you just use the command:
bzr branch lp:irssi-xmpp

Also, in order to use the launchpad mirror service, there must be a launchpad project created. I have created an irssi-xmpp project (https://launchpad.net/irssi-xmpp) where I have references to the real project and tries to be clear that it is just a bzr mirror. If you are interested (now or at anypoint in the future) in having control of this mirror-project I'd be more than happy to give it over to you.

Hi,

Because it works, it is easy, it fit my needs and because it works.

If you want to contribute, you just need to type: cvs diff -u
to generate a patch and send it to this mailing list. So contributions
aren't so hard to do.

Switching to another vcs will be just a pain in the ass whithout added
value.

Cheers,

Colin
