Dear users of the sci overlay, we've recently rearranged the git setup. The current sci setup is now exactly like the main tree setup, namely:
1. The authoritative repo is the one hosted by infra (git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/sci.git) 2. All commits to the sci repo will be synced over to Github automatically, in ONE DIRECTION only. This means all the dual HEAD merging is obsolete now. 3. The Github repo is now meant as a (friendly) interface to potential contributors. 4. As a new QA policy, merge commits in the overlay are banned now. The sci overlay has much lower contention than the main repository, such that you can realistically always avoid merge commits, even for large batches of commits. This will require you to rebase your commits on top of remote: git pull --rebase=preserve I will likely further tighten the QA standards of the repository, due to a history of poor COMMITMSGs and other QA violations. This is supposed to be a testing ground for the main repo, where plans are to also introduce such QA measures. Furthermore, I am considering requiring full GPG-signed commits for the overlay, and for this I would like to get some input. I believe this prepares contributors for eventually joining Gentoo. For low-volume contributors not wanting to join, we can always merge pull requests from Github. Ideas? Are you opposed to this? Regards David
