Definitely. But having a mirror on github will increase forkability, |
10 |
and will make it much faster for people to get started on |
11 |
contribution. |

When the user has their tree up to how they want it, they can either |
14 |
send a pull request to another gentoo dev who also has a fork on |
15 |
github, or send a link to the commit via some medium ( bug tracker ? ) |
16 |
, and some dev can just add that as a remote, and merge/cherry-pick |
17 |
the commits they want.. |

In my books, github is mostly a marketing and ease of access platform |
20 |
that streamlines the ability for people to get started contributing |
21 |
and facilitate easy distribution of changes back to upstream. |
22 |
|

But this is mostly side topic. |

If there are problems with it, we can address those when we know what |
28 |
they are, not when we're inventing problems that might not actually |
29 |
exist due to conjecture. |

I haven't encountered any "real" problems yet in size or performance |
32 |
constraints with perl-experimental . Sure, its not portage, its only |
33 |
~800 packages vs portages 15000 , but it should be a somewhat |
34 |
reasonable synthetic workload. |
35 |
|
36 |
Side note: I assume, that there is, a way, if you *really* need it, to |
37 |
copy all the new git commits back to the cvs tree if something |
38 |
critically broken in git turns up so bad it has to be dropped. I think |
39 |
it unlikely, but knowing there is a way to "go back" would give much |
40 |
reassurance. |
