[Dune-devel] Is it intentional that user forks are private?

[Markus Blatt]

Hi Santiago,

thanks a lot for the info.

For your information: Andreas does not recall, that he requested a private fork.
Not sure how it got private, maybe due to moving to the new server?

Anyway, this is not so important and was just meant as a heads up.

Best,

Markus

This means that in the case of dune-common, the owner of the fork had to intentionally opt for a private fork in the moment of forking, or manually changing the visibility later on. Best, Santiago
