DEPRECATED -- Strongly consider using the upstream, the version here is very out of date and a poor place to start from!

Hi,

I wanted to use rancid-git, but couldn't find a released version: all tags in the repository point to tags of the upstream project, so without git compatibility.

Are the releases of rancid-git hosted on another platform?

I don't make formal releases of rancid-git -- it's very much "ad-hoc" maintained, and is only really meant for people experienced with RANCID already and are looking for a few extra "value-add" features.

I admit that one of the reasons I don't tag a release is because then I'm more likely to get someone writing a "HOWTO" blog post on getting this version versus the original and that means I'd have to start supporting users new to RANCID rather than just support the extra features that have been added.

At present, I always make sure that HEAD is always usable before pushing to Github. If you clone the current HEAD, you should be good to go.

Please take extra care when using clones from this repository -- as some have found out, we do occasionally let a regression slip through, especially the long-outstanding svn color-diff bug that I've never got around to fixing.

Hope that helps!
