Re: FrontAccounting Source Mirrored on GitHub

I had the same idea, however, I think itronic, is creating an official one. Am I wrong ?

Re: FrontAccounting Source Mirrored on GitHub

Yes, let us wait for the official one - it will have all the incremental changes as well. The unofficial one I have put up has only release-to-release changesets.

Placed a caveat there as no one should be mislead.

  • This repo will be updated only when I have the time.

  • It is meant to enable easy localised forking on GitHub from any release.

  • It can be used to study differences for migration between versions where individual proficiency in using GIT is better than in using Mercurial

  • Like any development code repo, code here should be used with care.

  • Do not be fooled that any snapshot is well tested stable release, while in many times it is not.

  • Using full random snapshots of FA repo is officially unwelcome

  • FA Repo code is placed here for study, development and local deployment only especially where internet is not available

  • FA versions are not released too often in order to provide a minimal acceptable level of stability, which is important especially in accounting software

  • Very soon the FA project will establish an automatically updated GIT mirror repo that should have all the incremental HG changes

Yes, I plan to make public git repo available these days. When it is ready I will send announcement on the forum.
