Hey all,

There are two Gaia repos that I have run into so far: one on mozilla and one on github. The one on github seems relatively clean. The one on mozilla, tagged 'release', is a mess. The latter is used by FirefoxOS., at least in the hamachi manifest used by the Alcatel OneTouch fire.

Are these two repos split into 'production' and 'development'?

Why is Firefox OS (at least in its hamachi manifest) using the mozilla.org repository?

Do these repositories have maintainers? If so, why are there branches on the mozilla.org Gaia repo with crazed names that have not been touched since August and April?





Gaia on GitHub
==============
This seems relatively clean:


galet:gaia acuster$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git
  Push  URL: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branches:
    bug-952611                    tracked
    master                        tracked
    ord                           tracked
    rocketbar-places              tracked
    v1-train                      tracked
    v1.0.0                        tracked
    v1.0.1                        tracked
    v1.1.0hd                      tracked
    v1.2                          tracked
    v1.2f                         tracked
    v1.3                          tracked
  ...snip...

Small number of branches, bug*, ord and rock* with relatively recent commits. Fine.



Gaia on Mozilla (used by Firefox OS, hamachi build)
===============

The GitHub repo used for Firefox OS, despite having 'release' in
its name, seems to be the hacking repository. It's branches are a fant*&*!@ mess:


git remote show mozillaorg
* remote mozillaorg
  Fetch URL: https://git.mozilla.org/releases/gaia.git
  Push  URL: https://git.mozilla.org/releases/gaia.git
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branches:

    v1.1.0hd                    ...
    v1.2                        ...
    v1.2f                       ...
    v1.3                        ...
    v1_train/bluetooth/Bug905944_confirm_receivi.................WTF?
    v1_train/clock/Bug842750_Default_alarm_name_not_localized ...WTF?
  ...snip...

So this does not seem like a 'release' repository (despite what the name says). It also does not seem to have anyone doing basic maintenance dropping abandoned branches with crazed names.


Some explanation for this state of affairs would be appreciated.

cheers,
