Hello Andreas, I couldn't checkout from:
debcheckout blends-dev It dumps as output: declared svn repository at svn://svn.debian.org/blends/blends/trunk/blends/ svn co svn://svn.debian.org/blends/blends/trunk/blends/ blends-dev ... svn: URL 'svn://svn.debian.org/blends/blends/trunk/blends' doesn't exist checkout failed (the command above returned a non-zero exit code) I use the latest stable Debian 6.0.7 and it has as a stable latest version of blends-dev the 0.6.15 As i saw here : http://lists.debian.org/debian-blends/2012/11/msg00051.html, from blends version 0.6.15 to 0.6.16 the Vcs changed from Svn to Git, so I suppose the Svn repo does not exist anymore that's why the debchekout of blends-dev 0.6.15 does not work? I downloaded the source code of blend from git : git:// git.debian.org/git/blends/blends.git where the latest tag is : 0.6.16.2 . The code of blends-dev is under the directory blends/devtools? So the blend-gen-control perl script is the one that should be replaced with a totally new python design?
