Re: [sword-devel] merge raw avraw repos?

2014-01-15 Thread Chris Little
These repositories have now been merged, as we discussed. avraw (av11n) has been merged into raw (main) and the atticraw (the attic repository) has the prior version of each module that was overwritten. The av repositories themselves have been emptied, but left in place. masterRepoList.conf
