Description Kristoffer Grundström 2022-06-07 04:31:27 CEST
Description of problem: I feel it's time that we add the repo package as it's useful when building operating systems for embedded devices such as tablets for instance. I took the liberty of packaging it for Mageia 8, but you're more than welcome to repackage it for Cauldron.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.19

Proposal spec file

This is for an older version than the latest.
Latest official version of repo is 2.26.
Feel free to update the spec file to build the latest version.

"Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories"
> useful when building operating systems for embedded devices
I suppose this comes within Mageia as a development system.
Usual proviso, Kristoffer:

* You might want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager *

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

Severity: normal => enhancement
