#42Wow this is really cool. Too bad it's Ubuntu only. Is anyone working on getting it running on Fedora?
Considering it seems to be just Python, I don't see what makes it Ubuntu only.

It doesn't build on fedora. I fixed a few of the obvious problems, but it looks like there is more to it than that.. I assume that's why they say Ubuntu only on the Download page.

Hah, same idea here. I used to live with 3d artists, and I asked "How do you live without Git?!", they said they version their files into milestones (e.g. environment-milestone1.3ds) and upload them all to Dropbox.
I think Git wouldn't gain as much traction as you'd expect, there's just easier (for non-programmers) alternatives with a large userbase.

This is also a pretty crowded market place with pixelapse, layervault, etc.
