just some notes:
I was thinking on how to manage releases, since many externals do not
have releases numbers.
also: in gentoo binary packages aren't much in use. gentoo *is* a
build farm: the user compiles the softwares that wants to installs,
choosing compile options via tag-like switches (USE flags). (you can
actually use it to build binary packages working out-of-the-box)
that information is handled in ebuilds, special shell scripts that
have the "version&dependency
check,fetch,unpack,compile,test,install,merge" recipe.
so a gentoo repository it's just a collection of ebuilds, metadata and
changelogs, no bin packages.
a note about the development: to commit ebuilds properly, automating
the check of some rules and the writing of changelog, there's a script
(sunrise-commit) wich relies on SVN (didn't look how can be adapted to
CVS), so it may be better work on pd-overlay project separately, and
sync to pd-cvs or wathever vc when doing point releases of pd/pd-ext
(also useful for tracking external's versions) (I can add you as
developer of pd-overlay, if you are intended to help testing, or
fixing ebuilds, or using it as a build platform.... just give me your
sf.net usernmae)
