1. Why uvs2 is not shipped with upp installation package, not on upp sourceforge, not on U++ webpages (or am I blind?) ?

Because we are feeling guilty about it...

1. Is that guilt more important than a chance to be useful for existing and new U++ users?
2. Is it that bad that ... but why then you are using on a grand scale for U++ yourself?
3. Why no other version control system is recommended on the website?
4. Guilty of what? Comunist system inheritance? Wink

I still remember uvs2 from my short experience that it is nicely useable with theIde. A product which potentially could promote U++ or at least to be appreciated by "ugly stupid uneducated" U++ users like me, or to be a starting point for new versions developements.
And, honestly, I stopped using it after similarly "guilty ugly" Mirek's comments somewhere in these forums.

OTOH, the second great point and observation from Linus's speech is that... If Mirek had at least 10% of Linus's "positively ugly agressive dictionary"..., U++ would be in front of "ugly fatty stupid wxWidgets" and not "unknown, deleted and once again scheduled for deletion from "half-porn" origins Wikipedia -
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sect ors/media/article774973.ece. But that's separate topics.

So, any chance to overcome that guilt and put uvs2 into e.g sourceforge uppdev tree? Smile

2. how much does uvs2 compare to git (or needs changes to be better)?

Not much. Solves problem of sharing sources between a low number of very active developers that only have ftp server...

1. What would be needed to improve the situation?
2. Shell I offer an ftp server with 10 accounts?

3. what would be needed to use uvs2 for a "distributed system" (only setup FTP servers and exchange settings)?

A start from the scratch IMO.

1. 2 weeks as for Linus? Smile

2. What if to combine uvs2(3?) (theIde?, too?) and mercurial.
3. I'm starting to invest some time into uvs2 (first of all finding...) and/or mercurial (already installed it), anyway.
4. Depending on your answers and community response I'll start new topics in appropriate sections. I want order with my sources!
