Hi, quick greetings from the road,


it seems we either have to rearrange grass-addons svn to move
raster/ vector/ etc into a grass6/ dir (which we will need to
do eventually anyway, and grass5/, grass7/ already exist there);
and/or be even more discouraging on the download page about only
trying grass 7 at this point if you want to help develop it.
the idea is not to convince people not to explore or report bugs,
but when they try it anyway they are prepared for it not to work.

fwiw I'd also like to introduce 6.5svn as "for development purposes
only" as much as possible.


changing addons svn dir layout will break many urls, but this
sort of question will keep coming up. and as mentioned we'll
have to do it in some years anyway, but then it will be even
worse wrt urls.


thoughts?
