Re: Moving Gtk2-Perl to GNOME infrastructure

Let's get going on this again.

OK, I give in.  Let's use separate SVN directories for every module:

  perl-Cairo			*
  perl-ExtUtils-Depends		*
  perl-ExtUtils-PkgConfig	*
  perl-Glib
  perl-Gnome2
  perl-Gnome2-Canvas
  perl-Gnome2-Dia
  perl-Gnome2-GConf
  perl-Gnome2-PanelApplet
  perl-Gnome2-Print
  perl-Gnome2-Rsvg
  perl-Gnome2-VFS
  perl-Gnome2-Vte
  perl-Gnome2-Wnck
  perl-GStreamer		*
  perl-GStreamer-GConf		*
  perl-GStreamer-Interfaces	*
  perl-Gtk2
  perl-Gtk2-GladeXML
  perl-Gtk2-GLExt
  perl-Gtk2-Html2
  perl-Gtk2-MozEmbed
  perl-Gtk2-Recent
  perl-Gtk2-SourceView
  perl-Gtk2-Spell
  perl-Gtk2-TrayIcon
  perl-Gtk2-TrayManager

The question then is what to do about the modules marked with *.

- perl-Cairo and perl-GStreamer and friends are bindings for stuff on the
freedesktop infrastructure.  I'd still like to have them in the same place as
the rest.

- perl-ExtUtils-Depends and perl-ExtUtils-PkgConfig are build-time helper
modules that are required by every module, so I'd like to keep them in the
same place as well.

We'll just host those on the website.  They don't have to be version-controlled.

Could be superseded by a jhbuild module set.

What do you think?
