It should work perfectly the same way it does now except that each spec file gets replaced by a directory with the same name. > I have script to rebuild repo to dir-per-package, I did basic support in > builder script and did some testing (converted a local copy, worked a > while with new repo), so we can do the switch anytime. > Any thoughts? Comments? +1 for pushing for the move. I suggest having specs sorted by their first letter so it is more scalable in the future. We also need a script that syncs the RCS repo with a directory mirroring the current SPECS behaviour (symlinks to all SPEC files currently checked out) - for these rare times when you need to grep through the whole repo and mass-commit your changes. -- Patryk Zawadzki Generated Content _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
