Bug 208543 – dev-util/git-1.5.4 - git-svnimport is deprecated in this release

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Piątyszek 2008-02-02 09:07:44 UTC]

Hi!

According to Git release notes, git-svnimport is no longer supported by git:

GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes
========================

Removal
-------

 * "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn".  It is still there
   in the source tree (contrib/examples) but unsupported.

So please update the ebuilds so they do not inform about the dependencies of this tool.

BTW, 1.5.4 final release is out.

BR,
/Adam

I follow git's development very closely. No need for 1-day bugs, they are useless.

The main purpose of this report was not to let you know that git 1.5.4 is out, but to report that git-svnimport is no longer distributed in 1.5.4 releases (as well as in release candidates). And since the release candidate 2 has been in portage since 1st January, I thought it would be nice to let you know before you commit the final 1.5.4 ebuild.
Anyway, sorry for the noise if you have already known about the issue.

BR,
/Adam

1.5.4 should be in a mirror near you soon. (Without mentions to git-svnimport)

Thanks.
