Subversion repository updates



With the move of GNOME 2.10 to unstable, we're changing the layout of
the pkg-gnome subversion repository. Instead of making it match the
GNOME versions, it will now match the Debian releases. Packages will be
moved progressively from the old structure to the new structure. When
you upload a package, please move its directories to the appropriate
places.

The toplevel directories haven't changed:
- desktop/ is for the official GNOME release;
- packages/ is for other packages;
- tools/ is for Debian-specific tools.

In each of the desktop/ and packages/ directories, there will be 3
subdirectories:
- unstable/ mirrors uploads to unstable;
- sarge/ is a branch for the exact versions that can be found in the
final sarge release;
- experimental/ is for packages in experimental; please remove packages
in this directory as soon as they are uploaded to unstable.

In these subdirectories, you can now place a directory for each source
package.

Example: gnome-session. Currently, we have 2.8.1-6 in sarge and
unstable, and 2.10.0-1 in experimental. At the next upload, I will :
- move (svn mv) trunk/gnome-session to sarge/gnome-session;
- move branches/2.10/gnome-session to unstable/gnome-session;
- update unstable/gnome-session/debian/changelog, rebuild, upload.

Of course the situation is different for packages that already have
different versions in sarge and unstable: in this case, you'll have to
checkout an older version in the sarge/ directory.

As always, you can ask on the list or the IRC channel if you're having
trouble.

Regards,
