Another thing I'd really like to see is a move to GNU arch version control
I'm using Arch on all my own projects and I think its great. Still needs a little polish, but its improving really quickly.
There is also a concerted effort going on to fix its current windows- unfriendliness (issues with handling case-insensitive filesystems and very long path names).
Maybe if I get some time this holiday I'll try reviving my program to parse CVS commit messages back into filesystem operations and begin keeping an arch archive in sync with CVS so people can try it out.
Have a look at cscvs:
http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/cscvs
"cscvs is a tool which implements an abstraction layer over CVS constraining it to operations which have atomic changeset semantics. If you need to maintain a project on both CVS and Arch, you should really have a look at it."
What do people think?
I think Arch will work really well for the very highly distributed nature of Wine development.
