As Sven noted, that's part of kernel tree; it includes the debian parts,
not only the core.

At the moment, I'm using TLA for development on a machine behind a proxy.

Options:
* I can mirror the TLA history to a public site quickly;
  this format is designed to make it easy to work in a distributed manner:
  produce patches for dmraid that can be incorporated upstream real simple,
  build adapted versions with bug fixes and debian control files.
  You can start your own archive based on the original; you archive
  will have no limitations that the original doesn't have.

* Migrate to bazaar-ng.  This has the same advantages as TLA,
  plus the user interface is easier to get started with.
  It would mean a loss of history though, haven't got the tailor tool
  working properly.  Plus, it claims to be only a beta, with a format
  upgrade planned somewhere around 1.0.  And it would take me a bit more
  testing to publish, I haven't studied bazaar-ng in depth.
  (Then again, yaird does not yet claim stable status either,
  bazaar-ng is selfhosting and it's used heavily in ubuntu.)

* Migrate to SVN.  Uhm, back to the centralised model,
  it's a less than completely irresistible option.
  Perhaps the tailor package could create a gateway ...

The quickest way to make a repository available would be for me to mirror
the TLA archive; this has zero information loss due to migration, so it's
easy to switch to something better once that becomes available.

However, the repository is only interesting as a communication medium,
publishing the TLA makes only sense if you can use the format.
Please let me know if you have any use for access to a TLA or bazaar
archive; otherwise we'll have to look at SVN.

Regards,
Erik
