So the initial burst made a smallish dent, but there's still a lot
more to do, which I'd like to get to this weekend. If anyone want to
help out, that'd be great. In addition, please voice your opinions
about a few things (I haven't heard a lot of developers talk about
this, so I've left it alone:
* Move desktop related stuff to extra? (possibly keep only xorg in current?)
* Move wireless/network modules to current? (they're that important IMO)
* Rename current to "core" ?
* Anything else?
Here's a handful of instructions for moving things, just to be complete.
== Move to unsupported ==
cd repo/category/pkgname
tar czf pkgname.tar.gz *
/upload to the AUR/
cvs tag -d CURRENT
cvs tag -d CURRENT-64
(possibly testing as well if it's there)
cvs rm -f *
cvs commit
== Move from current to extra ==
cp -r current/category/pkgname extra/category/pkgname
rm -rf extra/category/pkgname/CVS
cd current/category/pkgname
cvs tag -d CURRENT
cvs tag -d CURRENT-64
(possibly testing as well if it's there)
cvs rm -f *
cvs commit
cd extra/category/
cvs add pkgname
cd pkgname
(use extrapkg or any other means to get it in the repo)
Thanks,
Aaron
