I don't know how Subversion repositories work. Why can't people simply do svn import mynewmodule svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/mynewmodule ? [Just tested it - doesn't work.] [During the days of cvs.gnome.org, /cvs/gnome was group-writable by member of the "cvsusers" group; that was enough for people to be able to import new modules. Not everyone had a full shell account; they were restricted to cvs only.] > > http://developer.gnome.org/tools/svn.html - which leads you to > > http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/import.html if you want to > > import your code, but THAT WON'T WORK because it still talks about "cvs > > import". > > Feel free to fix it and point to NewSVNRepos. Sure, I'll do that. I was just describing the sort of experience that developers get when trying to use our infrastructure.

Sorry, where does it say that? > if it doesn't, just mention this (it is a wiki:). See, how was I supposed to know that? I assume that whoever hands out new repositories wrote the NewSVNRepos page and put accurate information there.
