Intro
Work in progress. Problems that need to get solved before migrating packages from CVS (and into a one-repo-per-spec configuration) is possible.
Note: certainly not to SVN (it's old), most likely either git or mercurial.
Todo
- A script that will assign all files in SOURCES to their relevant spec files (in SPECS) and list both orphans and duplicates. Mostly done. Look at http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/pld/specssources.data/ (and hg clone http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/pld/specssources/).
- A script that will do the actual CVS→somethingelse translation while preserving history of both sources and spec files.
- Some kind of configuration that will make it possible in a reasonably comfortable manner to do mass commits on SPECS, since they're a fact of life and quite useful.
- pld-builder.new (well, the SPECS/builder script actually) needs to support the new way of fetching packages and tagging.
- Server-side rules needs to be enforce: auto-th tags can't be developer-assignable.
- New package repository creation (and maybe renaming) must be easy.
- Distfiles (with dropin) integration.
