[Debtags-devel] Merging tag data from the packagebrowser into svn

[Enrico Zini]

Hello,

the good news is: there's a lot of input!!

the bad news is: I have 2385 packages with tags modifications to merge
into the subversion copy (!)

I did the packages starting with '3' and 'a'. Interesting, insightful,
but it requires a team.

How to do it so far:

 1) Checkout the tag database:
    svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debtags/tagdb
 2) cd tagdb
 3) Get the new tag database from the packagebrowser:
    wget -O- http://people.debian.org/~enrico/tags/tags-current.gz | gunzip > new
 4) Make a patch:
    tagcoll diff tags new > patch.orig
    cp patch.orig patch.edited
 5) Edit patch.edited, taking away what's not good
 6) Apply the patch:
    tagcoll --patch-with=patch.edited copy tags > tags1
 7) Commit:
    mv tags1 tags
    svn commit

One can also create a patch with their hand-fixes by doing:

 tagcoll --patch-with=patch.orig copy tags > tags-changed-orig
 tagcoll --patch-with=patch.edited copy tags > tags-changed-edited
 tagcoll diff tags-changed-orig tags-changed-edited > my-fix-to-pakagebrowser


Suggestions accepted on how to organise this.



Ciao,

Enrico
