Hello,
soon after darcs.d.o became a reality [1], Zack asked me about
including the support for it in debcheckout and I did it as bug
#445714 [2], arising some discrepancies in how the personal
repositories are managed:
- git.d.o uses $HOME/public_git, which is then visible at [3]
- darcs.d.o uses $HOME/public_darcs, but this is visible as [4]
- {arch,bzr,svn}.d.o uses /$VCS/private, visible as {[5],[6],[7]}
Now some points, which are not really problems, but annoyances:
1) all the VCS servers but darcs store the repositories as
VCS.d.o/VCS/...
Is the subfolder VCS really needed? In that case we should have it
for darcs.d.o, too.
2) I think we should be consistent also about how to store personal
repositories, at least for web access. AFAIK the general structure
for project repositories is
VCS.d.o/VCS/$GROUP/$REPO
I'd suggest to choose one of "private" (already used by 3 VCSs) or
"users" (2) as $GROUP for personal repositories, being the latter
my preference.
Moreover, I'd prefer also to have personal repositories as
public_$VCS folders, which as I already wrote is how git and darcs
manage them ATM.
3) the second point is more important WRT debcheckout authentication
mode: this because in order to fix bug #447791 [8] the check should
be as more general as possible.
I propose to help moving all the necessary repositories once a common
solution is found ;-)
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
