Well, what I'm thinking about is a git repo per package that we patch for RSEL. I don't think there is a need for repos of unpatched packages. Those repos are already at git.centos.org and I actually prefer to download SRPMs. I patched 34 packages till now. this will probably grow a bit, but not much, I hope. I don't think we should put the sources in git. The get_sources.sh from CentOS works good. It should look something like this: - clone from CentOS - push to github - patch and tinker till happy - push to github when an update comes along - sync with CentOS - push to github - easily merge previous patch - tinker till happy - and push to github again. what I don't know is: - how does one change from git server - what is a good strategy for branches - should we indeed do 1 repo for one package or can we do one repo with a dir for each package >> Bjarne, what's your github account, so I can add you to the organization? > my github account is: [email protected] > >>> Over to the content side of the 7.3 build: >>> >>> >>> _Notable changes_ >>> - glibc does no longer build out-of-the-box.

One of the first EL7 kernels, which was not heavily patched could be made to build for the raspberry. later on the work got more and more difficult, because upstream only patches the x86 part of the kernel. I don't think this kernel can or will ever boot a device, but it is a good placeholder for dependencies. >>> - I was finally able to update java-1.6.0 (I now know how to disable >>> ARM32JIT) > Same here.
