So, I just set up a fresh, clean install of my OS and I'm now looking to install missing critical software. Which brings me to Ion3, and you all. The most up-to-date information I could find was on Wikipedia, which points me at: tuomov's archives: http://tuomov.iki.fi/software the Notion fork: http://notion.sourceforge.net/ the Anion fork: http://code.google.com/p/anion3/ What should I be installing? And why are there two forks? ~fantasai

And why are there two forks? Looking at notion's repo, it has exactly one commit, the initial checkin, so it's just a copy of ion (without the history). It was useful back when tuomov had withdrawn all the archives and there was no way to get the source, but now I think we'd be better off it it went away and stopped confusing people. Haven't tried anion, I'm still running off a local copy of ion-3plus's darcs repo from back when tuomov was still hosting it. ciao, -- -- [*Thomas Themel*] "In society, we need to pay...

And why are there two forks? Anion project is ion3+ copy with Xft patch, which can be switched on or off while compiling. Also this project contains ion3 archives and riot fixed for latest ghc.

I'm concerned that forking the code in two different directions will lead to a) confusion for everyone b) bugfixes of one not going into the other I would prefer if Notion and Anion provided different make configurations to provide their different feature sets (if that's wanted), rather than forking the base, which would benefit from having both developers maintain it together. ~fantasai

And why are there two forks? I was wondering about the same thing a while ago. While at that point notion had little code, anion had been stalled for a good while also and notion seemed much more active in terms of community interest and discussion. Aside from the mailinglist, there is a #notion IRC channel - not very active, but not completely dead either. > Looking at notion's repo, it has exactly one commit, the initial checkin, so > it's just a copy of ion (without the history). Uh, what repository are you looking at? The notion repo is can be found at sourceforge git, http://notion.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=notion/notion;a=summary It has the full ion history, some patches, and I actually checked in a bugfix just 2 days ago.

Erm, sorry for badmouthing the project then - I based my comments on http://code.google.com/p/notion/ which is quite dead, I had no idea there's a fairly active SourceForge project of the same name. ciao, -- -- [*Thomas Themel*] Marco Budde <Budde@...> wrote: [extended contact] > Wieso ist C++ nicht C++?

No problem - I'll try and see if i can get hold of the google code project owner. (I never saw this project before - I'm not even sure it's the same 'notion', as I don't see any code or information in that project at all...) Kind regards, Arnout(Continue reading)
