A few months ago, while working on squashing a particularly nasty bug in rBuilder, I found myself modifying some open source code, namely stomp.py.

Tonight, while I was migrating from my old FreeBSD-based shared hosting server at TextDrive to Joyent’s shared accelerators, I setup a Mercurial repository. Since joining rPath, I’ve come to adore Mercurial, and can’t see the point of ever going back to non-distributed version control, e.g. SVN. Plus, hosting Mercurial is dead-easy.

Submitted for approval: my clone of Jason’s stomp.py repository with my patches. Perhaps they will be accepted upstream.

Yay, open source!
