Hi, Now that we have the official git repository, I've switched user-facing git mirrors from rsync->git to the real git. As a result, users are now complaining that some random Gentoo metadata has disappeared.
As you may have noticed already, I am *really* unhappy about adding
special conditionals with hardcoded URLs (and ugly mixing stuff) for
Gentoo. So if you really don't want to put the stuff into the repo,
please at least:
1. Move DTDs to a git repository (seriously, I don't want to have to
touch CVS).
2. Strip the year from gentoo-news [1]. I think we have all
the agreement to proceed there. I will prepare a GLEP update today,
and if given OK, I can update the repo, and the scripts.
3. Provide a machine-readable description where those files/directories
come from. Not sure how that should look but how about something along
the lines of repos.conf:
metadata/external-repos.conf::
[gentoo-news]
location = metadata/news
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/gentoo-news.git
[herds]
location = metadata/herds.xml
# or do we want to use git here?
sync-type = http
sync-uri = https://api.gentoo.org/packages/herds.xml
