[Q-e-developers] Personal QE mirror (the "official" one is not working anymore)

[Filippo Spiga]

Hello,

I am planning to continue to improve various technical aspects of the code in my spare time: the configure, the make files, support on parallel numerical libraries, some code beautification here and there.

I am also personally curious to produce a proof-of-concept of the current QE distribution that has a different code structure, less "directory within a directory" but more flat and compact. Since code speaks by itself, there is no point of speculating about the what and the why. It is quicker to just do it.

The entire "GIT thing" got somehow stop or extremely slow down, that's sad. Moreover I noticed the mirroring process that publish from SVN into the QEF GitHub profile stop 8 days ago. 

I do not think SVN branching system can well cope with major code changes and multiple development activities going on at the same time. Because of the current SVN-GIT mirroring situation, I am going to create my own fork of QE by create my own mirroring system and then push the code on my personal GitHub page. When I think something is ready, I will liaise with relevant parties to merge contributions in the main official distribution.

Cheers
