Npgsql code moved to GitHub!

Since the beginning, in 2002, Npgsql has been using cvs as its source code management system (SCM). At the time, cvs was being used by a lot of opensource projects, and so it was a natural choice for Npgsql. A couple of days ago, Npgsql code moved to GitHub. I didn't blog about that in the same day because I wanted to make sure things went well before spreading the word. :) ( You may be asking yourself: But Npgsql code was already at GitHub, wasn't it? Yes, it was. But it was only a mirror of the main cvs repository. And I had to update the code manually every time. Every change had to go first to the main repository cvs and then I would update in GitHub. Obviously the code was often outdated. This is a thing of the past now.) Git was chosen mainly because there is a lot of documentation about it, it is powerful and because of GitHub.

Npgsql2 source code mirror is now available on github

Hello, all! Npgsql2 source code hosted on pgfoundry  is now mirrored on github:  https://github.com/franciscojunior/Npgsql2 What does this mean to developers and users? You have another way of access to latest Npgsql2 code through github interface I hope it will be easier to developers and users to provide patches. You can make forks and pull requests. Please, if you weren't being able to access Npgsql2 source code because of cvs, please give it a try on this new interface and let me know if you have any problems. Thanks github for providing this service to open source community. 

Ohloh

Yesterday Daniel Nauck showed me Ohloh  site.  There was even  Npgsql project registered there! I never heard about this site until yesterday. And it is very nice! Thank you, Ricardo Stuven for creating the project. At least this is the person who appears as the project creator on the history page. From the project page you can see a timeline of commits, code analysis, miniblogs like twitter about development and many other things. Cool! Thank you very much for the tip, Daniel. I think this site will be a great addition to provide more information about the project to our users and other developers.
