Following this discussion on the dev list, it appears that some of us |
27 |
missed the 'replace cvs with git' project going on here (on gentoo-scm). |
28 |
|
29 |
As it's very time consuming to find the relevant previous threads. So, |
30 |
could someone give us more information of the state of the project ? |
31 |
(general expected workflow, technical issues, etc) A brief abstract |
32 |
would be very much appreciated. |
33 |
|
34 |
I've read the above link. Now, I know about the Manifest issue. |
35 |
|
36 |
Also, did you had information on how git hosted overlays work ? |
37 |

Thanks, |
