I am pretty happy with current dockapps.git, git-send-email works just fine when I want to update something. And on github it is possible to have several commiters for a single repository. The only thing I want is an easy way to get tarball of a given subdirectory inside git repo. By "easy" I mean "knowing name and version of a particular dockapp". gitweb at repo.or.cz can't do it (look at gitweb/gitweb.perl in git repo how git-archive is called in git_snapshot()). Different packagers maintain different dockapps. Having all dockapps built from a single source package is not a good thing, because some dockapps being updated often, some are not. Step zero is to add tags to the repo. Without tags you will get different results each time you call git-archive. Next, thare are to options: If we stay at repo.or.cz, simple script will generate tarballs for all dockapps. Then these tarballs needs to be uploaded somewhere. If we move to github, repo must be split, because github does not allow checkouting of a subdirectory. From this point all tarballs can be downloaded directly from github. Both ways have its' advantages and disadvantages. Carlos, can you also upload dockapp tarballs to windowmaker.org ? -- Regards, -- Sir Raorn. --- http://thousandsofhate.blogspot.com/
