I also have some users expressing an interest in VMD now.

I could try doing a proper conversion of the SVN repository to git.
I see there are some debichem packages that are maintained in git [2].
I don't know if there are any reasons to stick with SVN.
Perhaps one of the longer standing members of debichem could comment?

In the meantime, would you share your changes on github, or similar, please?
