This needs to be done quickly. Can I help expedite it? Personally I would have recommended just moving right to alioth, but I wasn't around to recommend it. It would have broken web updates but at least we'd be in a situation where authors can do updates. > 2.- Send a notice asking for DDP authors/translators to > a) review the current HEAD branch themselves > b) commit any changes done to documents that might still be at > local copies > c) tell them that the DDP cvs server will be moved in the short > term to Alioth. > This notice should not be sent to -doc, but probably to -i18n and to > -devel-announce. > > [This advance notice means that the manuals.sgml/ directory at the DDP > project in Alioth, should _not_ be used until the move is complete] Ok. > 3.- Work out together with the Debian admins how should klecker update the > DDP pages once the project has moved to Alioth [1] I have some ideas about that. I don't really see why we can't have the doc build process run as a low priority user, and install under a prefix such as ~luser/tmp/ddp-root . Then the user which has RW to the web will just 'cp -ar' those files into place. The proposals to split into 2 CVS areas, one for makefiles, one for docs, seems to be utterly unmaintainable. > [1] This might mean keeping scripts that run periodically through cron > (Makefiles under manuals.sgml + utils/) at a CVS in gluck.

Are you just intending to tar up the repository itself (*,v files) and untar them on alioth? That's the best way to move CVS repositories, IMHO. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.debian.org/>
