I updated the patch to link the binary directly into
Cactus/bin/GetComponents. If there are no other objections, I would
like to apply the patch.<br>

Shouldn't the binary live directly in
Cactus/bin/GetComponents? The<br>
CRL repository would live in repos, as usual, and the binary
itself<br>
would be a symbolic link. We can then do the same with
SimFactory.<br>

I made the necessary modifications to GetComponents in svn to
support this. I have attached a modified patch to add the git
version of GetComponents, which I would like to apply to finally
complete the transition. GetComponents will now live at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL</a>,
and I will add a LaTeX version of the documentation shortly so
that it can be built with the rest of the Cactus documentation.<br>
<br>
The transition will be a two step process (assuming you are
using the development version): the next time you update Cactus,
you will get the updated thornlist and svn-GetComponents. Then
when you run GetComponents again, it will add the git version,
which will be located in Cactus/bin/CRL/GetComponents. This
seems to be the most stable process to me.<br>

I suggest to do both, to correct the fact that GetComponents cannot

I don't know. You can set up a permanent redirect on your web server,
which will automatically forward people plus leave a log entry on your
server telling you which pages to correct.

I wouldn't know how to do that without just coping GetComponents and not
having it in a repository.
As Frank said, this would not be possible with the way GetComponents handles
git repositories. We would have to symlink GetComponents (or a "CRL"
directory). I'm not particularly happy with the way this is handled by
GetComponents, and I've been thinking about modifying the behavior to place
the actual repo in !TARGET unless something is specified in !CHECKOUT, but
that is another discussion...

<pre wrap="">As to Erik's suggestion of placing everything in a single "CRL" directory,
that would actually be a more sensible name for the git repository. It also
holds my experimental generateCRL script, which generates a component list
based on the items you have checked out (only works with cvs and svn so
far). I don't know if GitHub allows you to change the name of your
repository, but I might change it if they do.
