I moved some of them to the Hurd repository, see my other email.  Here's
the status for the others:
<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/open_issues/hurdextras/>.

To switch hurdextras to Git, we'd need its administrators (see
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/hurdextras>) to agree to that and
enable the Git repository.  After that I could do the conversion and
upload it.  Both administrators have not been active for some time.

What we can easily do is mirroring the remaining hurdextras CVS
repositories in Git repositories on flubber, or any other system.  Would
that work out?


In other news, I'll keep adding source code and documentation that is
floating around the net to our central repositories.  Some more
translators, as well as support libraries: journaling libdiskfs / ext3fs,
stuff like that.


Regards,
 Thomas
