[Gmod-help] Re: Fwd: CVS to SVN Conversion, 2009/09/15

[Ed Lee]

Hi Dave,

Apollo has its own version of the org.bdgp package for the components
it uses.  I'm not sure whether other projects are currently using
org.bdgp, though.  But my gut feeling is that it would be ok to
remove it, if not someone else will complain about it.

I'm CC'ing Suzi and Chris on this as they might be aware of other
projects that will still need that package.

Cheers,
Ed
