Is there any point in loading SVN with outdated upstream source?
Hi,
I stumbled upon
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-science/packages/arpack/branches/upstream
which is featuring 75MByte of code which is definitely not Debian
packaging related. This code is probably wasting useless space on
several harddiscs of developers who have a complete checkout of Debian
Science SVN. I would love if we could agree to not keep this code
inside SVN. If there is really a need to keep upstream code the
packaging of this software should probably be moved to Git where it
is policy to keep upstream code anyway.
I guess arpack is just an example and I would love if others would
check their packages whether some cleanup would be possible.
Kind regards
Andreas.
