Here's the general plan.
The basic idea is to set up a site for distribution of packages.
It will not host development -- rather, each package will be developed
somewhere else. We should have a system to copy the package sources
automatically from somewhere else. What exactly it should do
is one of the questions that needs deciding.
Sometimes "somewhere else" will be the repo used by the package developers.
We can do that when the developers are cooperating with us and we
have confidence in them.
Sometimes it will be a repo we set up on Savannah. We will do this
when (1) the developers cooperate with us and would like us to provide
a repo to use, (2) the developers don't cooperate with us and we must
not release their changes without checking them, or (3) we make our
own changes in the package. In cases of type (1), we will be able to
give write access to each package to the developers of that package.
I don't know what git submodules do. Maybe we could get the job done
using them, but I have the feeling it would be kludgy.
I know what shell scripts are but "basic shell scripts" doesn't
describe a method. It seems reckless to mirror code from a wiki.
