Hi Guillem, (swapping some sentences) > What do people think? Yes! Please do!

It may make sense to make several independent repositories instead of a single huge one of (semi-) unrelated packages. For those missing the familiarity of a single huge chunk of a repository we could use git submodules. However, I find working on the shallow glibc-bsd repository increasingly painful. Given the sheer amount of code I agree we probably do not want to include lots of upstream code in our repository (or repositories), but possibly we could find something in between. Perhaps we could have at least a working trunk including upstream code for each packaging repository + pristine-tar since we pack all tarballs ourselves anyway? No need to have (tracking) upstream branches, full code tags etc though. Another benefit of using git is, that those wanting all of that can have their own remotes or local branches providing it. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
