I have done some small fixes both in the conversion and in the SVN. You'll find the new version at the same place, ie: https://temp.aurel32.net/tzdata-git.tar.gz https://git.aurel32.net/?p=tzdata.git;a=summary > Any comments are welcome.

You'll find it there: https://temp.aurel32.net/glibc-git.tar.gz https://git.aurel32.net/?p=glibc-debian.git;a=summary Comments are welcome. If they look fine, I'll install them on alioth and deprecate the corresponding SVN repositories. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
