I have made tarballs available on: http://people.debian.org/~fjp/webwml/ See the text at the bottom of that page for further information. > PS: Will I get flamed if I ask why webwml does not use SVN? :-) No. I think this is a latent wish that a lot of people have. The main blocker is probably that it is a _lot_ of work: - convert the CVS repo to SVN (probably the easy part) - convert any scripts that check/update versions - convert the build infrastructure - convert the scripts that produce translation statistics - make sure that commit messages and emails are still sent to interested parties - minimize the time no updates are possible due to the conversion - whatever I've forgotten So all it needs is a dedicated volunteer who has loads of spare time, is willing to make a conversion plan and work with the various people involved.
