[Pkg-silc-devel] Upstream is switching from CVS to GIT

[Jérémy Bobbio]

Hi!

As you can read on the following message, upstream is moving from CVS to
git as its version control system.  I heartly welcome this change as CVS
is a pain to track and contribute to. :)

We might want to switch as well for the Debian packages as this could
make merging back Debian contributions to the upstream source easier.
The X Strike Force has documented their practices which can be used as a
source of inspiration. [1]

Subject: CVS -> GIT

Hello,

We are slowly moving away from CVS towards GIT.  We have set up 
git.silcnet.org which will house all SILC project repositories and 
provides many ways to retrieve the repositories.  At some point we will 
also set up developer access to the repositories.

Currently Autodist and upcoming SILC Runtime Toolkit repositories exist in 
the git.silcnet.org.  Other repositories will appear there when they are 
ready to be added there, but until they are development will occur in the 
old CVS tree.  As a consequence we are also now separating many of the 
packages from one large CVS tree into many GIT trees.  This is natural now 
that we are going to have many different, independent, unrelated, 
projects.

Web access to all repositories is at:
