[Sugar-devel] Migration from bugs.sugarlabs.org to Github

[Tony Anderson]

Unfortunately, resources are not available here to test 0.112 on an XO. 
In the past we have moved to the most recent build released by OLPC. 
There is no urgency since this year we will have to continue with 13.2.8.

Do you propose to release a 13.2.9 based on Fedora 18 or some more 
recent version? Will 13.2.9 support the WebKit2 version of the 
Browse.activity?

It seems ironic that in moving to github, we can no longer maintain 
version control. I am not sure that I understand the technical issue in 
using 13.2.8 to obtain source copies of Sugar 0.110 for github. This 
should enable github to perform its essential role to make visible the 
history of subsequent changes.
