Hi all!
I realized that the way I did the merge to `master' (what was
`platform') did not preserve the history in a way that git could
understand it.
Therefore I have rebased `master' to have a more proper merge, so that
one can cd into a directory and get a useful git log --follow foo.c. I
have also continued with Mark's cleanups.
Because this is a rewrite of some parts of the git history, and because
`master' is the default branch for the savannah git repo, savannah is
not allowing me to make the update to `master'. Therefore this work is
on `platform'. I have opened a ticket with savannah folks and will
merge it to `master' ASAP.
Until this merge is complete, it's probably a good idea to hold off on
pushing to `master'. However the patches will still apply, so don't let
that prevent people from sending them to the list! :-)
In other news, I have also done the same to the "other" repositories:
clutter, gstreamer, libwnck, gtksourceview, and even the ones in the
attic: evolution-data-server, dbus, libgda, and panel-applet. Only some
of these are likely to be useful going forward, but I wanted to remove
all remnants of the old system. These packages can be checked out like,
e.g.:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guile-gnome.git
git checkout -b clutter origin/clutter
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=... && make && make install
Actually that should work for all packages, including what is now
`platform'.
Sorry for the confusion, but friends, it is time to fix things :)
One other thing: guile-gnome was not started by FSF folks, so it
actually doesn't need FSF assignment, if I understand the policy
correctly. What do people think about it? Is it useful to retain the
ability to e.g. change the license? One could imagine changing it to
LGPLv3+ at some point, for example, if Richard thinks it's a good idea.
That's something that assignment could allow us. OTOH keeping track of
these things is a royal pain. Anyway, input on this point is
appreciated.
OK, that's a long enough mail. Happy hacking!
Andy
