Hubert Figuiere just pointed out a limitation of having Pulse provide these: Pulse doesn't track everything in our repositories. For those whose modules aren't being tracked in Pulse, here's the DOAP template that Pulse created for pango: http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/pango.doap Putting in the information for your module should be pretty straightforward. For everybody else, if you don't feel like clicking around, the URL for your module is http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/pulse/web/mod/svn.gnome.org/<module>/trunk Replace <module> with the module name. (Yes, it's still from SVN. It'll take me a couple of days to reseed Pulse against our Git repositories.) -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
