As far as I know the Debian view is that they maintain their debian/ dir themselves. A debian/ dir in a repository is only for people who want to make .debs of that program themselves, but hasn't anything to do with the Debian project. > Also Troman requested to remove the MSVC project files and provide them as an > extra download, because one needs to adapt them to the local system, which > makes it difficult to merge with SVN changes. Can't you just use relative paths in those files? Or do you need some absolute paths (for libraries or whatever)? Not that I really care about some Windows stuff, it just seems quite pointless if every person using a MS compiler has to adapt the project files first (several steps below the autostuff...) > So what is the general opinion on that?

And what about > further distros? Shall we also have subdirs for SuSE etc? I guess it's the same with other Distros as with Debian, they keep their packaging stuff separate. My opinion: Only keep those things in SVN that we use and maintain. Everything else is useless clutter and doesn't serve anyone. -- To do nothing is to be nothing. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
