Well... not the metadata in the github repo with pregenerated metadata. |
| 7 |
While it's generated for the rsync tree as well, it's not in the gentoo |
| 8 |
infra git repo. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Similarly, I guess there are various user clones/forks of the gentoo tree |
| 11 |
on github, some of which will certainly have stuff that's not yet on |
| 12 |
gentoo infra, as generically, that's rather the point of having a forked |
| 13 |
git repo on github in the first place, no matter what the origin and |
| 14 |
contents of the repo itself. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But I get your point. In terms of the git history of the primary gentoo |
| 17 |
repo mirror (as opposed to other forks of it) on github, it's identical |
| 18 |
to that of the gentoo infra master, as that's what it syncs from, with |
| 19 |
the purpose being that it /is/ a mirror with no changes from that of |
| 20 |
gentoo's git master repo. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Tho I get Dale's somewhat confused and now belabored point as well. For |
| 23 |
people who don't know how to do git on their own, as clearly he doesn't, |
| 24 |
the official signaling of what the stopgap changelog alternatives were |
| 25 |
until the scripts were running to regenerate them from git, simply wasn't |
| 26 |
there. Without that, confusion reigned, and blaming the user for |
| 27 |
confusion in the absence of official signaling really doesn't help the |
| 28 |
situation, either. |
