Was it intentional that the oi-userland/archives/.gitkeep file and directory
placeholder were removed ?
In the past there was a 'empty placeholder' directory ("archives") with a file
.gitkeep (empty) in the oi-userland repository.
I liked the approach with the empty placeholder, although that setting
USERLAND_ARCHIVES to some other directory that you create yourself may be best.
The way I read Andreas email was that he prefers creating the directory
yourself - I don't mind and in fact it is true that this provides some
advantages.
