[Savannah-hackers-public] GNU Arch archives layout at Savannah

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi Michael,

I'd like to automate the Arch archive creation. Apparently Arch cannot
start an archive if the remote directory is already
created. Meanwhile, there is a need for multiple archives per project
(eg. I myself needed to mirror the archives I continued from).

So I think the current layout, one archive located at
/archives/projectname, is too limited.

Now, if we support ArchZoom or similar, we'll need a way to be
flexible so it can find all archives located in an Arch upload
place. http://arch.debian.org/ apparently manages to do so.


The bottom line is that enforcing any rigidity with a system like Arch
is probably not the way to go.


Is this ok with you?
