Source: mr Section: utils Priority: optional Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), dpkg-dev (>= 1.9.0) Maintainer: Joey Hess Standards-Version: 3.8.0 Homepage: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/mr/ Vcs-Git: git://git.kitenet.net/mr Package: mr Architecture: all Section: utils Depends: Suggests: subversion, git-core, cvs, bzr, mercurial, darcs Description: a Multiple Repository management tool The mr(1) command can checkout, update, or perform other actions on a set of repositories as if they were one combined respository. It supports any combination of subversion, git, cvs, mecurial, bzr, darcs, git-svn, and unison repositories, and support for other revision control systems can easily be added. . It is extremely configurable via simple shell scripting. Some examples of things it can do include: . * Update a repository no more frequently than once every twelve hours. * Run an arbitrary command before committing to a repository. * When updating a git repository, pull from two different upstreams and merge the two together. * Run several repository updates in parallel, greatly speeding up the update process. * Remember actions that failed due to a laptop being offline, so they can be retried when it comes back online.
