There has been such a suggestion in gentoo-dev and Gentoo has a github
|
21 |
organizaion account (not sure though). I agree with your points and am
|
22 |
not going to jump into this again.

A causion: Gentoo Prefix SVN repo will fade away finally and integrated
|
25 |
back into gentoo-x86, according to Fabian(ping).

Konstantin is right: for me overlay is good enough and you can maintain
|
28 |
your overlay with any VCS you like.

If you are really a fan of github and eager to contribute in this
|
31 |
manner, go ahead to try out and send a pull request to me. I will review
|
32 |
and integrate your patch. If the process is joyful, we could extrapolate
|
33 |
this style to more audiences in the community.
