* how to maintain timestamps of files? We want to keep the last modification date, not the date of local download

|
+---/grass6
|
+---/grass_doc
|
+---/libgrass
|
+---/newsletter
|
+---/programgrass50
|
+---/web

GRASS OSGeo SVN repository structure

See Discussion page for details. 

/grass-svn
|
+---/grass
|    |
|    +---/trunk (grass6 CVS HEAD)
|    |
|    +---/branches

  • grass migrated as grass/branches/releasebranch_5_5
  • web migrated as grass-web
  • newsletter will be merged with OSGeo newsletter repository
  • wxPython GUI moved from grass-addons to grass code base (grass/gui/wxpython)
  • gui/wxpython/screenshots removed, can be part of grass-addons (e.g. grass-addons/screenshots/wxpython)
