Maximum RPM updates patches welcome ;)

[Paul Nasrat]

There have been various patches to maximum rpm to update it.  These have all
been checked in and I've built the html here:

http://rpm-devel.colug.net/max-rpm/

I've just added %defattr, I hope to rewrite the pgp section to reflect the
internal openpgp implementation.

I am happy to take, review and merge patches as well as contributing myself.

The plan is to update Maximum RPM to rpm 4.3, include color, selinux and
friends.

The source for "Maximum RPM" is available through CVS as well:

        cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs/devel login
        (no password, just carriage return)
        cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs/devel get max-rpm

Thanks

Paul

An in the middle of all the other things going on, I probably should send 
you some patch on the tran rollback stuff if its not already there (-;

That would be good.  Oh and I guess I should add about solvedb and --aid.

I see my name there, have you taken the small changes I had made available
on freshrpms.net when I tried to resurrect it myself? If not, you are more
than welcome to!

I've set up a subversion server yesterday. Would you be interested in
importing the current stuff into it and work on from there? It could also
be the perfect occasion for me to implement a script in svn for the first
time in order to have an online html version updated after every commit.

Yes those have been merged for a while.  Hence adding you as a contributor. :)

Still lots to do, but it's something I care about, and there is certainly
enough todo.  I pushed to rpm-devel as a focal point, as providing access
relatively easy and users comment drove me to do minor update.

I don't have access to the cvs tree directly so cvs2svn would be painful.
However I think moving to svn is on the cards, if it does happen will let you
know.

Well, when I wanted to get the development of Maximum RPM started again, I
really wanted to put it into a repository where people could commit directly,
which I never did since I never got down to setting up my own public CVS
server... but it is now possible since I now installed a public SVN server
which I intended exactly for things like this.

I don't think the max-rpm copy in cvs.rpm.org actually contains much version
information (it was just imported and left there, right? or am I wrong and
was it developed using CVS all along?). So if you want to start collaborative
max-rpm development right away, I'd really like to import the current version
into that SVN repository. If later on there is a different, more "official"
wrt rpm SVN repository, it'll be trivial to move the project over while
preserving all the version information. What do you think?

The repository is here : https://svn.rpmforge.net/

I think we agree on this front and I'm happy to move to subversion too, as are various
of the other contributors.

Earliest stuff is from 1999 http://rpm-devel.colug.net/ChangeLog

Probably don't loose that much detail cf the rpm tree.

Well it'd be nice to keep things all together wrt rpm development.  At the
moment the focus is at colug.net http://rpm-devel.colug.net, and I think rather
than have to move accounts, etc at a later date I can setup subversion for
maximum rpm there.  Poke me off list for an account, or if you do irc I'm on
#rpm.

Thanks for the offer, normally I would just have set up with that, but we've
just had the discussion about moving all of rpm to subversion so it'd make
sense to get this underway on colug.  Hopefully do today/this weekend.

On the other hand, I'm the CVS server admin for cvs.rpm.org, so I do
have access.  Jeff seems quite keen on moving to SVN, so that will be on
our list after migration to new hardware.  I haven't actually looked at
how many changes are really tracked in CVS, but it's easy enough to do
from just the CVS interface, if somebody has time.

Ah cool.

Excellent. Obviously as cvs.gnome.org is in the same place I imagine that some
planning for server migration is required :)

I've had a look at max-rpm there isn't that much there.  If it's possible
could
I get a tar.gz/bz2 of /cvs/devel/max-rpm to setup a test environment with
subversion.  If cvs.rpm.org is going to move eventually having played a bit
with related content might be useful.

I'll understand if this in unfeasible atm.
