Here's a quick update about scripted conversion to git-dpm. I took a look at Stefano's dpmt-migration branch. His code is working at a different level than mine; whereas I am working on single package imports, he's looking at doing the full migration of all DPMT and PAPT packages. We'll need that whenever we flip the switch.
In the meantime, I stole some good ideas from him. :) My current import script uses debsnap to grab the .dscs. Stefano uses chdists to grab the .dscs for oldstable, stable, unstable, and testing. I added that to my import script as an option, because it can sometimes augment the set of dscs to build up history from (e.g. if a new version hasn't show up on snapshot.d.o yet). I'm still not doing the highest fidelity conversion from svn to git, i.e. importing all branch history. I'm only importing released history. We may eventually want the former, but I suspect the latter will be good enough. Anyway, as a reminder, my code is at: git://git.debian.org/users/barry/import-dscs.git Cheers, -Barry P.S. What I'm playing with now is trying to see if a package which will have ongoing Ubuntu deltas can be represented as a branch off of the unstable git-dpm branch. pycurl is the package I'm experimenting on.
