Hi all, As you all know and hate, the various source control management systems that are set up on Alioth were mostly managed by hand. The reason was that FusionForge (and SourceForge and GForge before that) didn't have any integration for anything but CVS and Subversion.
This recently changed (see [1] for a few details), and I have a FusionForge branch (based on 4.8) with plugins for Arch, Bazaar, Darcs, Git and Mercurial, in various states of completeness. That branch has now been merged into what's installed on Alioth. People registering a new project now have a choice for all these SCMs (or none at all, if they so choose). (As an aside, existing projects can now define tags and be displayed in a tag cloud visible on the front page.) As I said, the plugins are in various states of completeness. CVS is complete, but Arch is barely started, since I only recently realised that there were actually people using it (hello, pkg-gnustep ;-). The good news is that the missing parts shouldn't be hard to do, especially for regular users. I factored what could be factored, and now only some of the specifics have to be implemented. And that probably just means cut-n-pasting from another plugin and replacing what needs to be replaced. I am therefore looking for, yes, volunteers to complete that effort. If you're familiar with your tool, it shouldn't take long, and it'll help other users of Alioth (as well as your friendly Alioth admins). I'd be grateful for any help. The Bazaar branches are currently at [1] and [2], the former having only the SCM changes compared to upstream, the latter having the rest of the Alioth patches too. If you think you can help, please "bzr checkout $url" and poke in gforge/plugins/scm* :-) Thanks, Roland.
