I doubt that changing it next week, directly after import, would confuse anyone.

Hm, what is the meaning of "main"? Is it a "minimal" repository that is needed for building at least the code or should it be what makes up the "regular" en-US build? If we agree that it's the latter, the "extras" module belongs into "main". Of course we can think about breaking it into several parts, like "templates", "gallery" etc. That would be an improvement not only because it avoids the name clash. > I haven't looked so deeply into the new build system and the packaging > so far.

It's not a problem of the build system, the packaging is too inflexible ATM. But that can be tweaked also. The new build system is capable of working with several (sub-)repositories, the old one still needs the "source_config" crutch. Regards, Mathias
