Hello, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have the pleasure to announce that the official rsync2git mirror is |
| 4 |
up and running [1] thanks to Sven Wegener. It is updated from rsync |
| 5 |
every 30 minutes, and can be used both to sync your local Gentoo |
| 6 |
installs and to submit improvements via pull requests (see README [2] |
| 7 |
for some details). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
At the same time, I have established the 'Git Mirror' [3] project which |
| 10 |
welcomes developers willing to help reviewing the pull requests |
| 11 |
and helping those improvements reach package maintainers. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For users, this means that we now have a fairly efficient syncing |
| 14 |
method and a pull request-based workflow for submitting fixes. |
| 15 |
The auto-synced repository can also make proxy-maint workflow easier. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
For developers, this either means: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
a. if you want to help us, join the team, watch the pull requests. |
| 20 |
CC maintainers when appropriate, review, even work towards merging |
| 21 |
the changes with approval of the maintainers, |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
b. if you want to support git users, just wait till we CC you and then |
| 24 |
review, help, merge :), |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
c. if you don't want to support git users, just ignore the repo. We'll |
| 27 |
bother you directly after the changes are reviewed and ready :). |
