Re: What should we do about lp:nunit-2.5?

 

Hi Charlie,

Pardon my ignorance - I've never used lp. How do we check out the source code from lp?

when you mention cvs for source control, do you mean subversion?

I have removed the branch from Launchpad. We'll just
move on to NUnit 3.0.

I have confirmation that the bug blocking our imports to
Launchpad will not be fixed. I plan to delete the mirror of
NUnit 2.5 in the next day or two.
