Moving the packages repo and converting to Mercurial

OK, I now have the CVS repository massaged to the point where cvs2hg will accept it. There's a basic decision to be made wrt. the conversion: #1 I can convert everything to one big Mercurial repo. (About 230MBytes.) #2 I can convert every individual package into a Mercurial repo, and arrange them as subrepositories to an umbrella repo. #1 has the advantage that it's easy to do: However, there are various import branches in CVS, which create a seriously mangled revision graph. #2 is more attractive from a design perspective, and it's what I'd like to do. It has a dowside, however: There's still central content (the various build files etc.) that needs to be in sync with the invidual packages. Mercurial handles this just fine, but I don't know how to create a consistent set of repositories from CVS. If you want to actually build an old version of a package, you'll have to look up the revision of the central stuff that matches it manually. This won't be necessary for revisions after the move. OK? Comments? PS: If you have commit access to the Alioth Mercurial repository, please get an account on Bitbucket (which is where we'll move the XEmacs repositories in the near future) and e-mail me its name. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
