Re: Subversion migration finished




Ross:

I am the gdm2 maintainer and I see a bit of a problem building gdm2
after the CVS->SVN migration.

When I check the gdm2 module from SVN, it seems that the needed
vicious-extensions is missing.  When I used to check out gdm2 in CVS,
there was a subdirectory called vicious-extensions in the gdm2
directory.

I notice that vicious-extensions is in its own module.  Perhaps it used
to be added to gdm2 via a CVSROOT/modules trick?  If I checkout this
vicious-extensions module into my gdm2 directory, then I can build gdm2
no problem.

Note that vicious-extensions doesn't have its own configure or autogen
script, so you can't really build it by itself.  vicious-extensions was
written by George Lebl, the previous maintainer of gdm2.  I think he was
thinking that other modules might use it for loading/saving
configuration data in the same format used by gdm2, but I do not
think anything uses it besides gdm2.

I think it probably makes the most sense to move this code to
to gdm2/vicious-extensions and get rid of the separate module.  Could
this change be made?

Sorry I didn't make you aware of this issue before the migration, but
I didn't realize that this was a separate module until just now.

For those that haven't noticed, the subversion migration is now
complete. In the end, it took about 49 hours. Apologies for the downtime
involved.

Except for 'www.gnome.org', the websites are not yet auto-updating from
Subversion. I should get round to completing this in the next couple
days (other work permitting), and will review and update the various CVS
and Subversion related web and wiki pages then.

Of course, it is now possible (ok, easier) to set up per-repo
pre/post-commit hooks (inc commit-to-mail), so if anyone has any
particular requests, please send them to 'svnmaster gnome org'. If you
have any suggestions for new global hooks, please send them to
'gnome-infrastructure gnome org'.

Happy new year to everyone in the GNOME community :)
