it feels as if there is a misunderstanding...
Each Git projects on git.x2go.org is complete by itself and reflects a quasi Debian-like source package so we can easily build your packages for Debian+Ubuntu right out of Git.
So each comes with its own version number and there is no dependency between the different sub-projects?
Git submodule would allow to have a global tag for a consistent set of all the subprojects.
So, the issue about checking out all Gits at once is just for us developers as we normally work on all Git projects.
Exactly.
Thus, it is very hand to clone all the X2Go upstream Git projects locally in one blast. A shell script is sufficient for that, I guess.
For cloning, yes. But not for tagging. But maybe you don't need or want that.
I actually do not want to set up a meta Git project pulling in all other Git projects as submodules as in daily development work it does not make much sense. Thanks for your thoughts, anyway!!!
I don't feel offended. It was just my 2 cents. I understand that a new person cannot simply come and change the existing workflow.
My problem is lack of documentation. I don't know where to start. I'd still like to have x2go without the need to become root, but obviously that is not too easily achievable.
