4 There are a couple of bugs against repoman that request repoman detect
5 and do things for the developer. The two cases are:
6
7 repoman does not auto-commit new license files[1]
8 repoman should cvs add files/ if it isn't already[2]
9
10 I personally am against both of these, mostly due to their automational
11 nature. In both cases repoman should report that they aren't in cvs, so
12 that it can generate a warning ( it does this currently for files/ but
13 no so for licenses ).
14
15 Part of me does not want repoman to do automated tasks for developers,
16 and part of me wants a set of *well written* tools to aid developers in
17 their tasks. I mean when one commits say, all of kde, you don't want to
18 sit there and type in all that crap, you'd rather script it. However, I
19 don't see it as repoman's job to do that for you. I would like others
20 opinions on this though.
