Re: Subversion migration finished

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Ross:

I am the gdm2 maintainer and I see a bit of a problem building gdm2
after the CVS->SVN migration.

When I check the gdm2 module from SVN, it seems that the needed
vicious-extensions is missing.  When I used to check out gdm2 in CVS,
there was a subdirectory called vicious-extensions in the gdm2
directory.

I notice that vicious-extensions is in its own module.  Perhaps it used
to be added to gdm2 via a CVSROOT/modules trick?  If I checkout this
vicious-extensions module into my gdm2 directory, then I can build gdm2
no problem.

Note that vicious-extensions doesn't have its own configure or autogen
script, so you can't really build it by itself.  vicious-extensions was
written by George Lebl, the previous maintainer of gdm2.  I think he was
thinking that other modules might use it for loading/saving
configuration data in the same format used by gdm2, but I do not
think anything uses it besides gdm2.

I think it probably makes the most sense to move this code to
to gdm2/vicious-extensions and get rid of the separate module.  Could
this change be made?

Sorry I didn't make you aware of this issue before the migration, but
I didn't realize that this was a separate module until just now.
