Bug#824057: ITP: bitkeeper -- source code management system
I am a user of Debian and bitkeeper on my day job. So I intend to work
on this ITP and with upstream to make it good enough for Debian. I have
contacted already the upstream and he seams to be interested in helping
me. My Plan is:
1 - Try to find all the bits that are needed before working on this.
2 - Code review?
3 - Create a git repository on alioth for the packaging work.
4 - Make a first package that may have bundled software, but is ready to
be build by cowbuilder. Not yet ready for Debian.
5 - Make a second package without bundled software. May have security
issues. I hope this is ready for Debian experimental and unstable only.
6 - Work with upstream to fix all the security issues, making it
security ready to be installed on alioth. Upload to unstable/testing.
I think this plan can take a very long time. But step 5 should be
reachable in a reasonable time frame. I will work on this during next
DebConf and welcome help from other people, specially a DD, because I am
not yet a DM.
Kind regards
Jose M Calhariz
