The ViewVC seems the most reasonable choice, seeing it’s the only one having versioning; however, from the DEP5 Web page I get the impression it is developed using Bazaar, and ViewVC shows the contents of an SVN repository which doesn’t quite seem to be a mirror of the Bazaar one. Given the situation, I guess I’ll just use the unversioned URI and hope DEP5 will become official soon. Thank you for your input on the matter. -- Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
