More and more alioth://, less and less localhost://
That’s pretty cool to have such a useful environment like alioth for handling collaborative maintenance.
I joined the Debian Perl Group recently in order to put my Perl packages into the hand of the team, and that reminded me how alioth is a powerful tool when you’re about handling a debian package with others.
As I receive quite often some po/po-debconf updates for the package backup-manager, I decided to exhume the pkg-backup-mngr project, in order to handle the source with subversion, and to let the translators commit their changes. I now use enormously svn-buildpackage and I feel pretty happy about that.
I even think about opening an alioth project for every single package I maintain (and of course, which cannot be handled by an already existing team).
Update
I apprently forgot the last paragraph of that post in my mind, and the mail Philipp Kern sent me made me aware of that (pointing to Raphaël Hertzog announcement about collab-maint). Indeed, Philipp, I wanted to conclude my post with something about collab-maint, I guess it’s done now. Thanks!
