[Pkg-mol-devel] SVN repository messed up?

[Gaudenz Steinlin]

Hi Aurelien

Glad to meet you, I did not expect anyone to pay attention to the
pkg-mol SVN these days...

As the repository is mainly intended for maintaining the packaging of
the Debian mol packages, I converted it to the mergeWithUpstream scheme
of svn-buildpackage today. I think it is better to only manage the
debian directory in SVN and not the whole upstream source. If you have
further questions on how this works, feel free to ask further questions
or the refer to the svn-buildpackage HOWTO. You should be able to use
all the svn-buildpackage tools like before.

The latest upstream source can be found at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/. MOL's upstream is quite dead since some
time and this is a semi-fork done by Gentoo developer Joseph Jezak.

The upstream tarball contains some bits not suitable for main (code
which can only be built using proprietary compilers on MacOS, you should
be familiar with this from miBoot :-) ). To factor out these bits I
wrote a small script. It's in the scripts directory in SVN.

I now also imported the upstream tarballs into SVN and commited my
latest work. If you are interested in helping out with maintaining mol I
would be glad to have you as comaintainer! There is a lot of work to be
done to bring mol back into shape.
