There's no code repo currently at SF, basically just downloads, as I
haven't had time to sort it out.  The rpm one (documented somewhere) is
just for Fedora/EPEL package installation.  gitlab mirrors
https://arc.liv.ac.uk/repos/git/* as it says.

If you want a git repo, why not use the existing one?

I don't know why that's a problem -- I'm not aware of one.  If you
modified changes, I assume they're now incompatible.

I've never heard of that.

Yes, and there's more than (multiple) source repos.  I went to
considerable trouble to save stuff from sunsource, and still didn't get
a proper complete history of issues (including closed ones).

I hope they wouldn't do that without telling me, though it's now
somewhat broken.  I found by chance I can currently push changes there,
and have done a largely-untested batch, but the hook for updating issues
etc. painfully regenerates the history each time, and is failing to
update issues, at least.
