[cctbxbb] Git status update

Tue Nov 1 10:50:41 PDT 2016

Hi Markus,

Indeed, dials.lbl.gov is built off of the same sources.  I was more
concerned about cctbx.sourceforge.net.  We can look into that on our end.

As for the repositories, there are licensing issues with the way you have
things set up and we would like to examine if the code duplication that is
occurring can be avoided.  We (Billy and I) will make up a list of
dependencies and their licenses and how we think they should be hosted.
Should we do a brief skype call over the next couple days?

Thanks,
-Aaron
