Yea I got that idea, but the only upside I see is if someone doesn't know how to use cvs. I guess that's a growing number of people these days ... The problem is that by forking your mirror, folk fork some arbitrary version of librumpuser from when you last updated it, not -current which we'd like patches to be sent against. If we went all the way with gitificating posix rumpuser, we'd be able to merge or discard those useful sets of patches with the press of a button. >> I'd call it rumpuser-posix, for consistent naming. > > Not sure I can be bothered to rename it - the idea is you fork it to > whatever you want to work on, it is not supposed to be of use in > itself. Yea it's quite a bother to rename github repos ;) You can of course call it whatever you want as long as it's the unofficial source, it was just a suggestion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ rumpkernel-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rumpkernel-users
