Adding v8 support - help wanted

[dreispt]

I see there are a few people relying on this tool that would like to see v8 support added.
I wasn't planning working on that, so any help doing so would be much appreciated.
If no one volunteers and there's popular demand, of course I won't disappoint current users and will make an effort on it.

I'm wondering if you have a plan to convert oetor from bzr to git. I mean https://github.com/dreispt/oetor includes things like "bzr branch lp:department-mgmt/7.0 ./dev7/main/deptm" that might work differently on git. I noticed the roadmap note (here https://github.com/dreispt/oetor) "Support for other VCS * git".

I'm not actively developing this now, so I wasn't planning adding any features in the short run. Of course that adding git support is a must right now.
If anyone wants to give it a try, I think you need to:

• In the get-src) command add a git) section similar to the existing bzr) section.
• In the update) command add an if case for git, similar to the existing one for bzr.

You can also consider using GitHub tarballs now instead of the nightly builds - see maintainer-quality-tools installation script for an example of that.
