Re: SVN on Alioth?

2006-09-29 Thread Christian Perrier

 Is [EMAIL PROTECTED] a private mailing list for members of the 
 alioth.debian.org dpkg project?


No. It was meant during the transition from Scott to the band of four
people who agreed to take care of the package when he decided to slow
down his involvment in dpkg development.

It is currently unused and should indeed be removed from any
reference. The package development list is this very list.

I don't understand that question.

 That you'll have to ask the alioth admins. But it's easy to track, we
 have several mailing lists and then there's the svn repo itself.

Which mailing lists and how do interested parties subscribe to them?
How does one access the SVN repository on Alioth?

  etc.?

 If you have something else in mind please say it explicitely.

Project Home Page links to the non-existent http://www.dpkg.org

Mailing Lists  says 0 public mailing lists

the Anonymous FTP Space is empty

Latest News shows No News Items Found

Generally, http://alioth.debian.org/projects/dpkg/ looks like a project 
which died before it ever started.

 I don't understand that question.

Why would you ever use Alioth's file upload capability for a Debian
project as opposed to simply uploading the package to Debian?

Well, you're writing to one of them  :)

Or, well, like pretty much every other project on Alioth, since none of
that stuff except for the mailing lists and every once in a while the home
page tends to be useful.  Mostly people use Alioth for the Subversion
access it controls and occasionally for mailing lists.

I know nothing about Alioth's file upload capabilities; I was thinking 
that released in this context meant anything placed in the 
repository, and expected to see the dpkg source tree.

Ah, OK.  SVN repository on Alioth != alioth.debian.org

Ah, no, this is a Sourceforge-like thing where you can put up releases
that Alioth serves out.  Not horribly useful for Debian, just a feature of
the underlying software that Alioth is running.
