Hi all, following the recent discussion, we had on IRC and the action I had in the March community call, I wanted to make a proposal related to the file format to track files. I am not yet submitting a fully formed patch as there may be differing opinions about the file format and name of the file.
I propose TRACKINGIMPORTS or for better readability TRACKING.IMPORTS in the xen.git root as file name, but don’t have a strong opinion. Ian originally proposed to add all information related to a mapping into one single line. That however leads to VERY long lines. So, I decided to break repository definitions into separate statements and allow referring to repos by a shorthand. That also has the advantage that should source repository locations ever change, only a single line needs modification. Let me know what you think.
