I want to play with an orphaned package in order to see if it can be
resurrected. Can anyone highlight the err in my ways?
fedpkg clone --anonymous perl-Net-Libdnet
cd perl-Net-Libdnet
# find commit prior to deleted spec
git checkout f56a7fd7
git branch resurrect
git checkout resurrect
But then that breaks simple things that (mostly) worked with the old
cvs/Makefile system.
fedpkg prep
Traceback (most recent call last):

git.errors.GitCommandError: 'git config --get branch.resurrect.merge' returned exit status 1:
This question really is just academic...as I'm trying to learn dist-git
and Fedora's newfangled way of doing things. As I have no problem fetching
the sources from upstream and using rpmbuild.
But this used to be possible (and very easy) with cvs update -D...
cvs -qd:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/pkgs co perl-Net-Libdnet
cd perl-Net-Libdnet
cvs up -D 2010-02-09
cd devel
# ok, so the lookaside cache is depleted...no problem...
wget -N http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/modules/by-module/Net/Net-Libdnet-0.01.tar.gz
make prep
Is there a more modern dist-git analogue?
