That is mostly all I'm saying.
I've run across a whole lot of "legacy" entries in the gnome chain
recently, that are like that, and in my opinion should be renamed
gtk_stuff and gnome_stuff to match the packages they provide. Or at
least *should* provide. More below.

The vast majority of svn directories using "-" instead of our standard
"_" would appear to be
a quick run through by someone a long time ago, and mostly consist of
directories like

./trunk
./trunk/legacy
./trunk/legacy/sources
./trunk/legacy/scripts
./trunk/legacy/specs

ie: a bunch of "legacy" stuff, that hasnt even been packaged through
svn, and does not follow our existing standards. You cant even type
"make" in the directories.
They did not produce the packages in our mirrors now; they are only
non-functional placeholders, it would seem.
