Hi everyone, So it's finally done. Every piece of the archive is now on git.debian.org. The fonts and debian/xorg package should show up on the main index within 24 hours, but you can browse and pull them down now. With this, the use of svn is officially for read-only purposes. The exception to this is if you're making security updates to stable for the monolithic packages. For all work on the modular packages, please use git instead.
Several people have expressed a few worries about having to deal with git. I know it's a bit of a bear to work with at times, but we're here to help, so please write the list (or myself, but you'll probably get a faster response if you just write to debian-x) if you have any questions or problems. Similarly, many of us are on irc in oftc's #debian-x, and we'll do our best to help you out if you have questions. I've included a ton of useful links and pointers for learning and working with git on the wiki[0]. In addition, there's a fairly sloppy "tutorial" I wrote to get you going. It needs work, so don't hesitate to make some suggestions. Now that this is done, we've got a clear path to move ahead. Julien has already started work on getting 7.2 in to experimental (see the various debian-experimental branches) and with the recent mesa upload the server and drivers should follow quickly. I, of course, have the roadmap I wrote up a little while ago for Lenny[1], so if you're looking for stuff to do, there's plenty waiting there for you :-) - David Nusinow [0] http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/git-usage [1] http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/XSFTODO -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
