This automated convertsion was done with the following sequence of
commands:
cd recipes
# Replace :url with :pkgname "user/repo"
perl -iBAK -lape 's{^(\s*):url\s+".*github.com/([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.git"}{$1:pkgname "$2/$3"}' *.rcp
# Change :type from git to github if recipe has a :pkgname property
for x in *.rcp; do if grep -q ":type.*git" $x && grep -q ":pkgname" $x; then perl -iBAK2 -lape 's/:type\s+git\b/:type github/g' $x; fi; done
# Clean up backup files
rm -f *BAK *BAK2
cd ..
These commands may be repeated at any time in the future to convert
newly-added recipes.
Some bugs are blocking users in 2.stable and the code diverted enough to
warrant releasing 3.1 rather than spending time fixing 2.stable. Also, it's
been a long time without release and we have some excellent new
features (dependency support, el-get-list-packages, etc).
The el-get recipe is already refering to the 3.stable branch, that will be
created from this commit.
