severity 330824 wishlist retitle 330824 disagreement about example scripts thanks
[micah] > "BTW: Maybe you can move the example files to /u/s/d/s-tools/example/" Thanks so much for not changing the severity there. I guess you believe this is release-critical. I require a bit of convincing on that score. I almost tagged this one wontfix just now, but I'll give you a chance to rebut first. > This did not happen with any of the example files with 1.2.3dfsg1-1, > they all still appear in /usr/share/subversion/hook-scripts. Many of the files there are usable in situ. Moved to the examples directory, they wouldn't be (thanks to Policy about gzip). I'm not interested in breaking people's repositories arbitrarily, which is what would happen if people *are* using these things in situ. If I break someone's repository with a svn upgrade I want to at least have a good reason. Splitting files that could be moved to the examples directory from the ones that should be left in /usr/share/subversion would be a pointless exercise in making files harder to find, in order to prove something about filesystem organization. To use the script files that come with "example config" files requires knowing where to find the latter. > It seems to me that the hot-backup.py script should be restored to > its original useful place (as a script that some backup programs > use) Did you read NEWS.Debian.gz? The other script affected is /usr/lib/subversion/hot-backup.py, which has now moved into /usr/share/doc/subversion/examples. It was never a supported executable (or it would live in /usr/bin). It is also no longer needed, because "svnadmin hotcopy" now includes the same functionality. Please use "svnadmin hotcopy" instead. Peter
