Hi all. I feel bad about this. I was not transparent at all about my
plans and got lost in a pile of projects which are only slowly
progressing. I started improving dbscripts to make it easier to work
with; which led to creating a Docker base image to be able to test the
latter. Most of my free time then went into a huge refactoring of
archlinux.de to finally extract and improve on the pkgstats backend.
Now I am drowning in hundreds of arch related emails and "things I
should do".
I would welcome help on dbscripts a lot. I had a look at those git
attempts in the past but in the end they were not easily mergable.
Maybe a few suggestions:
* Let's use github for Pull Requests
* Make sure PRs are small enough to be reviewable in let's say within an hour
* New code needs to be tested (Travis build needs to pass)
* Code Coverage should be as close to 100% as possible and useful
If we prefer a complete rewrite (e.g. when moving from Bash to e.g.
Go) where small pull requests are not possible and we need to start
from scratch, I would still strongly recommend my suggestions above;
esp. those about testing.
Greetings,
Pierre

Eli offered to take the lead on getting that done and also later migrating us to git instead of svn. If there are no objections I'll help where necessary and give him access to the dbscripts and devtools repos in two weeks.
That sounds great!
