And also, monotone + usher + monotone-usher Just Work (tm): Check! ludovic> and migrating from monotone-server to usher should Just Work ludovic> (tm). Well, there's no migration between those, the package "usher" simply installs the program. For a central server setup, there's the monotone-usher package. So migrating from monotone-server to monotone-usher: Check! For all this "Check!", I assume usher and monotone-usher 1.0~dev-x. The reason for it is that usher contains usherctl upstream, and the monotone-usher package depends heavily on that (I worked on them in tandem). ludovic> Migrating back from usher to monotone-server is nice extra ludovic> functionality but not absolutely required. There's no real migration back. The only migration done so far is that the monotone-usher package simply copies the data that monotone-server set up, if there is any. Of course, we could change monotone-server to copy monotone-usher's __catchall__ project if there is one, but as you said, that's more of a nicety than a requirement, and I think I'll stick to the requirements for now. ludovic> IIUC, you are almost there already but there seem to be ludovic> issues of compatibility between versions of usher and ludovic> versions of monotone. Well, monotone-usher depends on monotone being 0.99 or newer, is that the issue you're talking about, or is there something else? If there is, I've missed it and can't recall being informed. Could you expand on the subject? One thing I'm thinking now is that monotone-usher doesn't migrate any database automagically... that should probably be added, and it should probably be something for usherctl to handle in a nice way...
