I don't think so. As I understand things there is a push to move all NixOS repos under the NixOS organization on github. However this process is taking quite a long time. I'm not sure why or how I can speed things along. I have a mess of automated tools designed to work with git. Which is why I have a hard time using SVN or even git-svn. Though I'm also not a git expert so my difficulties might only be a result of that. *shrug* > Mathijs > >> Excerpts from Florian Friesdorf's message of Sat Feb 18 16:06:06 +0100 2012: >>> How does your authors.txt differ from maintainers.nix? >> authors.txt is used to rewrite svn user names to emails (which git >> requires).
