svn repository for Live DVD packaging scripts

[mleslie]

Those of us involved in the packaging of projects, configuration and data have the need for an svn repository to store the scripts and metadata used to produce these packages. The justification for this is the same as for source code, as this is essentially packaging source, though it will not include project source code, only the additional information required to package it. It has been pointed out that the debian-gis group already has a repository, but we cannot since we will be packaging application configuration details as well as datasets which are not appropriate for debian distribution.

Mark,

My suggestion is that this just be accomplished in a subdirectory of the main OSGeo subversion instance:

 http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo

I see you already have osgeo svn commit rights, so you should be able to extend them to other folks using the controls at:

 https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py?group=osgeo

I would suggest creating a livedvd subdirectory under the svn root.

Mark,

Please extend the commit rights to me also. I plan to prepare a number packages. My osgeo name is ajolma.

Regards,

Ari

Agreed, and done. Ari, I've granted you access to the repo. I trust you'll stay in the livedvd folder unless asked to commit elsewhere by the appropriate people.
