Launchpad mirrors various stuff and makes it available via Bzr. That is what I mean. I won’t consider Launchpad as long as it is not free software.

So to answer your question: Yes, GNOME might use Launchpad if it is released as free software.

I think what bugged mint is this sentance:
“Most GNOME modules are available via Launchpad”

I too thought “OMG, Gnome will depend on proprietary software !”

I know bzr is free and I simply can’t criticize it as I never ever used it. But what’s the relation between bzr and launchpad? Why putting all Gnome modules on launchpad?

Sincerely, Gnome might use bzr if they want and I have no right to complain as it is totally free software. However, the day Gnome goes to launchpad (if that’s what the quoted sentance means) is the day I’ll leave Gnome.

mint: do something useful and check your facts, all of bzr is GPL’ed.

Olav & John, thanks for setting this up, I’ve been trying to “bisect” a bug with svn – it sucks – this will help a lot, thanks.

mint: Go troll somewhere else. The blogpost is about a Bzr mirror, not Launchpad.

I hope GNOME doesnt start depending on a proprietary piece of technology like launchpad. Just say NO.
