Okay, here it is: The paper describes a concept of normalized layouts for source code repositories. In short points: * repository locations and version numbers (so also tag names, etc) are normalized, so clients (eg. automatic build systems, monitors/ notififactions, etc) do not need to know anything about individual upstream's naming schemes * upstreams and distro-specific changes are collected in one place, so anyone can access them easily (even automatic systems, which want to notify on new 3rd-party changes or even run automatic tests on them) * from certain distros (eg. Debian partially done), their changes can be directly imported * distro buildsystems can directly fetch their package sources from there, w/o the need for applying additional patches (distro- specific changes are made directly in the vcs, published in the distro's namespace). * distro source packages can be directly created from there. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
