the {{{perl}} scripts are under the same license as {{{perl}} itself

svn checkout http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-trokata/trunk/project-meta soft-project-meta
}}}

   {{{
svn update
}}}

It is possible to have access to writing at the forge
on reasoned request to [mailto:Gabriel.Moreau(A)legi.grenoble-inp.fr Gabriel Moreau].
For issues of administration time and security,
the forge is not writable without permission.
For the issues of decentralization of the web,
autonomy and non-allegiance to the ambient (and North American) centralism,
we use our own forge...

You can propose an email patch of a particular file via the {{{diff}}} command.
Note that {{{svn}}} defaults to the unified format ({{{-u}}}).
Two examples:
{{{
diff -u project-meta.org project-meta.new > project-meta.patch
svn diff project-meta > project-meta.patch
}}}
We apply the patch (after having read and read it) via the command
{{{
patch -p0 < project-meta.patch
}}}
