We'll have git19 SCL once anyway, so if 1.9 is fine for you for now, who not going this way. I've finally prepared some "Getting involved" steps [1]. Please, give me know if there is any other info needed. My rough plan for now (next hours/days) is to ask for bundle request for all RHSCL-1.2 components, so we don't need to ask for them specifically. I should also be able to do some mass import, and then we'll need to build the RPMs -- the part where any help will be handy :) [1] http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo#getting-involved Honza
