Transition Status

Done

• git friendly trac server

• resolve #14781

Needs work

• development scripts (found at http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/14482)
  • mecurial compatibility scripts
    • SPKG merge script (should be really easy to write using a truncated version of the script I use to manage the git repository)
• finish cleanup of the mercurial export script (nearly done)
• documentation
  • walk_through.rst needs a major overhaul
  • producing_spkgs.rst and patching_spkgs.rst need updating
    • old style spkgs are deprecated
    • unified repository now
    • package_version.txt
    • checksums.ini (sage-fix-pkg-checksums)
  • producing_patchs.rst needs major overhaul
  • trac.rst probably needs updating
  • other smaller fixups will probably be needed throughout
• buildbot
• patchbot
