Well, i suppose this means the creation of a single new mailing list on alioth for yaird, > * yaird-core has a repository separate from svn://svn.debian.org/kernel/ Ok, altough it could be a single subdir inside the kernel repo, more to this below ... > * yaird-debian-subdir is stored as part of the kernel repo, on the > understanding that unannounced breaking of stuff in the repo would be a > ground to move the debian-subdir repo elsewhere. > That would mean loss of history, and nobody wants that, > but lets be up front about what to do if this approach does not > work out. That sounds fine, altough i am thinking there is a serious misunderstanding going on here. What kind of repo breakage do you expect ? I have now been working with subversion for over a year, maybe more even, and i fail to see what kind of breakage could happen, that would not affect also a separate yaird repo. So, to make your plan more concrete : 1) Jonas or you ask for the creation of a yaird project on alioth (named yaird), as well as the creation of a subversion repository and create a yaird mailing list. The subversion repo is configured send commit mails to this list (can be a separate list if there is huge volume of commits involved, but should be ok at first), and maybe a CIA bot could be created to send commit logs to irc, maybe to the debian-kernel channel if you don't want to do a separate yaird channel. 2) The debian-kernel svn repo is modified to hold just the debian dir, with a mention of where to find the latest upstream tarball. I will even subscribe to the separate alioth list :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
