Yes, if they're not maintained they're dead anyway. No matter where they
life. If someone wants to resurrect one of them he should write the
conversion rules. Most of them are dead-easy (the exception would be
veritas/xtest and maybe valgrind as it has kde3 history).

They'd be hidden anyway as they definetly don't belong into our kdevelop
project on gitorious. That one should only contain maintained
repositories.

Well, yeah maybe thats ok.

I know, I was about to start to add automake when I had second thoughts
about it. I mean writing the rules is not a big deal - at least until I
hit something hard to resolve - but they should at least be in a
separate file (kdevelop-unmaintained-plugins-rules or so) so when
someone uses kdevelop+kdevelop-plugins rules he gets exactly what we
want in the kdevelop project and we don't need to document that
"afterwards we erased x,y and z repos as they were unmaintained".
