Is there truly no public access to the source control for runit?
If so, it's decidedly odd.
Not that odd.
Small projects don't really need an SCM. Most pre-git SCMs are
cumbersome or impractical. runit predates git. Gerrit chose to
focus on the code, not on the packaging - that's all there is
to it.
I totally agree. As long as a project is primarily a one man band,
there's no need for all that stuff. It's probable that other peoples
contributions can be sent in as patches against the last tarballed
version.
The only reason I have *two* public repositories is, I'm after
contributors. I really didn't want to do github, but I gave in so that
others using git could contribute. Having to sync two different repos
isn't much fun, and can make some of the pull requests a little messy.
I do use Mercurial for other reasons, though. Using the patch extension
makes it easy to write a prototype, and leave it unapplied in the patch
queue until I'm ready to refine and use it.
