== Move repository from pkg-scicomp to Debian Science ==

When you want to move a repository from pkg-scicomp to [[DebianScience|Debian Science]] , you can easily move when you use the following methods.

{{{
$ ssh svn.debian.org
$ svnadmin dump /srv/svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-scicomp/ | svndumpfilter include YOUR-SCICOMP-PACKAGE > dump
$ svnadmin load /srv/svn.debian.org/svn/debian-science/ --parent-dir packages < dump 
}}}

== Source code access ==

Please follow instructions on [[http://svn.debian.org|svn.debian.org]] on how to access the code associated with Debian packaging.

== Contribution of packages ==

To join pkg-scicomp, you need an account on Alioth first and then need to request your addition to the group. Hereto follow the advice on [[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-scicomp/|Pkg-SciComp's Alioth Project Page]].

=== Technical note on using subversion ===

There are currently no particular policies on how to employ subversion for your packages. It is however considered strongly desireable by many to use the "merge" functionality of svn-buildpackage. A quick summary can be found on the [[DebianMed]] sister pages under the subheader "Whenever preparing new packages, please:".

As a quick summary, your series of command will be similar to the following:{{{
aliothID="smoe-guest" # adapt to what your ID is
svnrepos="svn+ssh://${aliothID}@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-scicomp/"
svn-inject -v -o package.dsc $svnrepos
}}}
