[Zope-dev] [Checkins] SVN: zc.buildout/ Moved to github

[Jens Vagelpohl]

Hi Hanno,

Legally this must be a fork then and I'm not sure it can be released as official Zope Foundation software anymore if you make releases from GitHub. Reason: the ZF can no longer ascertain that only official ZF contributor agreement signers have modified code in the package, which is a core requirement for software released from Zope Foundation repositories/under Zope Foundation auspices.

Apart from those legal points which are still not entirely clear, since this can only be a fork I would say that last checkin must still be reverted. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be facetious, but until those legal questions are cleared up you should not make any checkins on svn.zope.org that basically "shut down" development of that package from there, such as deleting the trunk.
