Control: retitle -1 RFP: emacs-dvc -- Emacs front-end to distributed version control systems
This package is more appropriately named emacs-dvc, especially now in 2021. Gna! was shutdown in 2017 (see [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gna! ) so http://download.gna.org/dvc is no more. Fortunately, it is archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20170307015429/http://download.gna.org/dvc/ The author's site should now be regarded as the canonical homepage of Emacs-DVC: http://xsteve.at/prg/emacs_dvc/ Upstream author's Bazaar repository is still up. It may be checked out with brz checkout http://bzr.xsteve.at/dvc or, better yet, as Git is being used on salsa.debian.org: git clone bzr::http://bzr.xsteve.at/dvc It was last updated on 2015-10-09. debian/* is included upstream: This package was debianized by Matthieu Moy on Sun, 17 Oct 2004 17:15:25 +0200. Small additional changes were made by Milan Zamazal and Daniel Dehennin completely repackage it. so it should make it easier for packaging for Debian a lot easier. There is a newer and unrelated project called "Data Version Control" at dvc.org which now has higher notability. Taking the cue from Guix which packages DVC.el as emacs-dvc (see https://guix.gnu.org/es/packages/emacs-dvc-0.0.0-1.591/ ), I think Debian should package it as emacs-dvc too. I might actually adapt Daniel Dehennin's packaging and uplaod io Debian in the not too distant future. We'll see. :-) Cheers, Anthony
