I think we agree we want a complete Hg (or git) on Apache Extras, so we can preserve what we can and also so we can cherry pick anything we find that we need to draw over to the SVN repo, to repair problems on the SVN, etc.
Greg Stein set up one project (ooo) but nothing has been moved to it: <http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/ooo/> I'm unclear what the existence of all the Child Work Spaces does to this - I assume we only get one Hg repo per Apache Extra Project and I don't understand the relationship among the multiple repos used in OpenOffice.org. (I've never used Git or Hg, so that is a blind spot for me.) [Nosing around OpenOffice.org I could find no source repositories, although release tarballs are stated to be available. I probably don't know where to look.] I'm all in favor of doing the least possible to create the Apache extra. "While we're at it ... " tasks tend to add too many variables in case there are problems and don't have a history of great success. Having a way to do further work at leisure is what I hope for. (I see that LibreOffice has gotten down to one, but that doesn't help here and I'm not sure what that means in any case.) - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Marcus (OOo) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 09:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repo] SVN ETA?

No, my knowlegde about SVN, HG and Co. is far away from being good enough to do such things. ;-) But someone has written that it's on apache-extras or at least should be moved there, isn't it?
