Debian and FreeRADIUS CVS (and Subversion, peripherally)
Just a quick question. Is it OK if I start tagging things into CVS for the debian/ directory to match what actually got uploaded into Debian? I've just started using dpatch for Debian, which means all the changes except the removal of the RFCs Debian cannot distribute are localised into the debian/ directory. At this point I'm thinking I'll just tag stuff in debian/, so to get a CVS tree matching the upload, you have to pull the appropriate release_1_0_4-tagged tree, and then change tags to debian_1_0_4_1 (for example, the version I just had uploaded into Debian). This would effectively mean I am branching debian/ at every release... Hmm. Maybe I ought to wait until the CVS archive is subversioned (or something else distributed) so I don't have to be doing it to the main repository? (This of course opens a whole different can of worms...) I'll have a think about this some more, and try and get some kind of more detailed idea going for review before I actually do anything, plus it means I can include a document if anyone else takes over the debian/ maintenance and Debian packaging. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, on an alternate email client.

Tags are low cost, and don't affect much. Go for it.

I have issues with subversion. Mostly the billion dependencies it has. Alan DeKok.

I'm not tied to the software used per se. I just haven't been able to get my head around arch, and haven't yet had the time to look at tla. And I think cogito is not quite what we need. ^_^ (Mind you, I've not used subversion anywhere either, so that's not really a strong argument for subversion.) Anyway, I guess this is orthogonal, but I'll see if I can come up with a convincing argument and suggestion for upgrading by FreeRADIUS 2.0's release. I'll just tag things for now. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, on an alternate email client.
