Now that CVS is back, the urgency for this has passed. However, I'm still working on this. I've rebuilt my repo on github again with updated author names and addresses, but the addresses I used are the usern...@users.sourceforge.net since that's all we have in a central location. If anyone wants to use a different address, let me know and I can regenerate the repo with the new info. I'm converting the entire dists directory, so that's 10.2 and up. I decided to err on the side of keeping the most history. Oh and I copied the .cvsignore files to .gitignore. I'm also now keeping my repo updated with the latest cvs commits. I found that once I did the initial conversion with cvs2git I could use git cvsimport to update it incrementally. By the way, if anyone else experiments with converting the cvs repo to git with cvsimport alone, it won't work. There's some mild corruption in some old cvs commits that causes cvsimport to choke. cvs2git can handle it fine, however. I haven't bothered to push the few branches converted from cvs since they're at least 7 years old. They should probably be deleted before we really switch, but I'm keeping them locally for now. There's also a bunch of tags; most of them are for lilypond and the big pangocairo migration. They can probably go too, but there are tags for bindist releases that are worth keeping. A great feature of git is that branches and tags are incredibly cheap and take up almost no space so it wouldn't hurt to keep any of them, I guess. I discovered that you CAN track file moves/renames/copies in the repo, but it requires an extra option.

Note that nmap is GPL with an explicit exemption to permit linking to openssl so there's no real downside. 35c7065 Use openssl100 on 10.4 and 10.5 since we need a newer version than system-openssl.

My repo is at git://github.com/danielj7/fink-dists.git or https://github.com/danielj7/fink-dists.git or you can get it with "svn checkout http://svn.github.com/danielj7/fink-dists.git"; which is cool. If you cloned it before, you'll have to delete it and clone again since I regenerated it again.
