Based on Robin's earlier post, it seems this is going to be fixed, how |
18 |
and when may still be open tho. The reason github entered into this is |
19 |
not because I am confusing the two but because very shortly after this |
20 |
change, I had to go to the github website to find out what changed with |
21 |
some packages because I was having upgrade issues. That is what made me |
22 |
mention github. If I have to go to github to get info about a Gentoo |
23 |
package and it isn't available on a Gentoo site, that sounds fishy. I |
24 |
also recall that at that time, package.gentoo.org was not updating |
25 |
either. That is why a link was posted for me to use github instead. I |
26 |
do realize and understand that git and github are two different things |
27 |
but it seems they can work together as well. It ended up that the info |
28 |
I needed was on github but not to be found on any Gentoo site at the time. |

My other issue is how these two match up time wise. I synced the tree |
31 |
yesterday. If I go to github or even packages.gentoo.org to see a |
32 |
changelog, that info may be out of date. That is why some of us want |
33 |
them to be done at the same time and stored locally. Changes that were |
34 |
made overnight and today don't apply to me because my tree is older than |
35 |
that. If I sync then run to the website, it may be more relevant but it |
36 |
can't be guaranteed that it is. |
