but people using newton usually do use use things like svn repositories and file versioning. I doubt that you will find a single modern game development project that does not use a repository to store files, it's used by companies, research groups, and for personal use aswell.
They arn't using SVN/Git for a single file. So i don't see what that has to do with this discussion. I have only stated that i think SVN/Git is pointless when its used for things like a header not for things like company projects/research groups/etc. This is my view, which i think i am entitled to (I never said you couldn't believe differently).
seem to love bumping heads over such ridiclous trivial reasons..
I have only stated
My opinion. I have never made statements that state that people who don't agree with me are insane like you have.
There are some times where you could be a bit more flexible and perhaps you would then learn a thing or two while listening to other people's opinions, esperiences and working procedures
Sais the person who won't let me have my own viewpoint.
If you are making a header file for others to use then you should listen to their opinions and wishes aswell.
I made a header for myself and decided id be a nice person and release the header to the public so that others could benefit from it. I am not selling any kind of service, i never stated i would always keep the header up to date, i never promised people anything. If you knew anything about me, you would know that i generally do listen to peoples opinions, i do generally implement whatever stuff people want me to implement in applications/etc, but when it comes to how i work, i will do it however i want to do it. Just because you like using SVN for headers doesn't mean everyone else has to just because you want everyone to. I never try and force you to have the same work practices as i do, so why are you trying to force me?
If you make a translated header purely for yourself then you can ofcourse do as you please
Even if i didn't make it for myself, and did it 100% free just for the community then i could still do it however i pleased because no one would be paying me anything.
------
The bottom line is this: Everyone is entitled to work however they please. As i have said, if people want to maintain the header using an SVN/Git then they are free to do so, but i will continue with the current methods as i am entitled to.
I don't see why me not agreeing with you is such a big issue. I have already stated on many occasions that
YOU can make a project on SourceForge and maintain it if you want. My participation shouldn't matter. Its not like im stopping you from using SVN/git.
