Hi all,
I just discovered that there are currently two Starjava repositories:
* https://github.com/Starlink/starjava
* https://github.com/SPLAT-VO/starjava
The first seems to be used for Topcat (and common use), while the second
is for Splat-VO?
They have some common history (older log entries are identical), but at
some point (Dec 9 2016?) they start to diverge. And they are not github
forks, which makes it difficult to compare and sync.
What is the rationale behind this? Having different versions of
starjava, one for topcat & friends, and another for splat-vo, would make
it a nightmare to package everything for distributions like Debian (or
MacPorts), and makes it also complicated to bring bug fixes and
enhancements from one the splat world to the topcat world and vice versa.
Wouldn't it be better to do this in a common repository? Is there a
discussion somewhere where I could get more details?
Best regards
Ole
