Yes, it's wise to check with them first :) However, being us Debian
guys spread all over the world and with different work habits, 'date
and time' means little. However, the script would look +- like:
cd pkg-perl/packages
for letter in a b c d e f g ...
do
mkdir $letter
svn move lib${letter}*-perl $letter/
done
svn commit
I'm sure it will be quite an expensive move. I think the best way will
be to make it from costa itself - although the machine is not very
large (and our repository is), and it will surely be felt by anybody
using its services :-/
