Was there ever a resolution to this? I have some bugfix/modernization patches to scigraph made against the old CVS repo, and I think I might need to make more, and it would be cool to know where the "official" repo is so as to minimize forking.

Personally, I hate 'git'. My old brain has a far easier time making the correct mental model for CVS or SVN than 'git'. But that's me.
If you do decide to move to 'git', or anything else for that matter, then I STRONGLY suggest you do it in a fashion whereby you do NOT lose the history of the files. There's a lot of valuable info in the commit messages and the version trees. Just taking the top of trunk from CVS and making a 'git' repo from it is not acceptable in my opinion.

Hi;
I also would like to see a single official repository, whether git/github or otherwise, with continued incorporation of patches/improvements. (Some time ago I submitted patches for the scigraph portion of mcclim which I would have liked to seen included.) Has there been any movement on this, especially as regards quicklisp?
If there is anything I can do to help, I would certainly be happy to do so. Please advise.
Thanks!

I was going to save this mail until my current round of mcclim hacking is finished, but here goes. I'm not particularly interested in continuing to work with CVS. Are people agreeable with moving to git? I'm not invested (at all) in having my github repo become the "official" repo, but a site like github has a lot of advantages as a host.
I'm very much in favor of moving to git. git-svn works well enough for upstream svn archives, but syncing back and forth with cvs is always uncomfortable for me.
But could we leave the "official" git archive on common-lisp.net? I like github, but when I'm checking out a project that I'm unfamiliar with, I hate having to decide between downloading (for the sake of example) onixie/mcclim, slyrus/mcclim, mmontone/mcclim and timoore/mcclim.
Same here. I'm too in favor to switch to git (which is clearly easier than CVS) but keeping the official mcclim repository where the project is seems better to me. github is cool, fun, social and whatnot but I find it hard to get an official software out of it.
