At PyCon, we discussed moving Jython's svn repository to Python's with Martin von Löwis.  I would think that Jython would live in Python's hg repository in the same way as stackless and distutils.  Has the parallel project strategy been determined?  Will they be separate repositories, separate "forests", something else?

I think they should just be separate repositories. The svn.python.org "repository" is more like a collection of actual repositories than a repository in itself.

Also, Martin suggested we migrate to Python's svn and then go along for the svn->hg ride.  Does that still make sense now that some planning has been done?

I'd say migrating to Python's svn doesn't make a whole lot of sense at this point, but I'll leave that to Martin (since he has to do the work). For the conversion, I can just as well take the Jython repo from your current server. I've started a svnsync job with your repo so I can run some test conversions. It's a relatively small repository, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Cheers,

Dirkjan
