Hello Stoyan,
hello Jim,
I really appreciate your invitation, and the site devoted
to Sun Rays does indeed seem to be the best place for such
a project as mine, especially to get it widely available.
Besides, I'll score being second in your SVN repository :)
you are welcome! if you want some content published on the web page
(sun-rays.org) just send me the html pages/pictures/packages etc. and
i'll put them on the web server. you can also create a pages and upload
files on the wiki using your registered user.
It might be a prime time to settle on some name for the
project [directory], too. There's a problem: I planned to
split this into several Solaris packages (framework, sample
application wrappers, neighboring scripts like utumountusb),
so there should be some short basename to extend when making
packages. Can you suggest anything appropriate?
Would SUNWutselector be too long a base name (follows the
GNOME long package names though)? And is it too bold with
SUNW up front? :)
i think SUNWutselector is ok as base name and the extended name
SUNWutselector-<subname> will be nice as it will be more informative.
regarding the "SUNW" part i think it is ok to keep it as it is also used
for the remote control toolkit.
i personally use the FLB prefix (from "filibeto") when i create
packages, but this is just my personal choice ;)
I have sent you an SVN Commit Request from the web form.
your "commit access" account is ready - the user and password are set as
per the "How to get commit access" section on the subversion page on the
wiki (http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/Subversion). please let me know
if you experience any problems using the account.
Is there a simple way to import a CVS project (at our site)
to SVN (at your site)? Will $Id:$ tags break in the process?
you can try using the cvs2svn python script
(http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/). one of the features mentions "No
information lost" :)
if your CVS repository has multiple projects you can use the options
file method (http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/faq.html#onetoone)to export only
the SUNWutselector project. you also need to use the
"--dumpfile=<dumpfile>" output option to produce an svn dump file.
having the dump file i can try to importi it to the current repository.
if anyone else with more experience on this can suggest a better way to
do this - please post to this thread.
Or should I simply commit my files and start the numbering
from point zero?
it is up to you - if you think the CVS export will be too much of a
hassle...
note that subversion tends to use repository-global revision numbers,
and as i try to stick to the "single repository/multiple projects" model
you may note that the youngest revision number for the repository keeps
changing because of other project(s) adding revision.
Thank you.
please let me know if i can help with anything else.
greetings,
Stoyan
