Aloha,

we (the gtk2-perl team) would like to move our stuff to GNOME servers.
We already use it for our mailing list[1] and for bug tracking[2].
What's left is revision control[3], tarball releases[4], and our
page[5].  For those we still use SourceForge.

[1] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
[2] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=gnome-perl
[3] http://gtk2-perl.cvs.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/gtk2-perl-xs/
[4] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64773
[5] http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/

I already fetched our CVS repository via rsync and converted it to SVN
with cvs2svn -- the uncompressed dump file weighs in at ~290MiB.

We would like to use the following repository layout in SVN:

gnome-perl
+ ExtUtils-Depends
  + branches
  + tags
  + trunk
...
+ Glib
  + branches
  + tags
  + trunk
...
+ Gtk2
  + branches
  + tags
  + trunk
...

That is, for all our sub-projects, we would like to have a directory
with the branches-tags-trunk structure.  The dump file implements this
structure.  This deviates from the normal setup; gnomemm is a precedent
though.  I think for this to work, we would need an exception from the
usual trunk/MAINTAINERS rule -- we would add a gnome-perl/MAINTAINERS
file, just like gnomemm.

The repository name "gnome-perl" seems natural, especially since that's
the name of our Bugzilla component.  On the other hand, there was
previously a CVS repository with the same name wrapping the GNOME 1.x
libraries.  Is that a problem?  If so, we could use "gnome2-perl".

Our tarballs are currently called Glib-1.180.tar.gz or
Gnome2-VFS-1.081.tar.gz.  Due to the similarity with the actual
libraries, it seems we can't just upload them normally to ftp.gnome.org.
Would it be OK if we renamed the tarballs to something like
perl-Gnome2-VFS-1.081.tar.gz prior to putting them onto ftp.gnome.org?

Our page on SourceForge uses PHP -- would it be possible to get a
project page with PHP enabled?

How does this all sound?
