Recently I wanted to modify a package. Since we now use git for
packages, the following work flow feels natural:
git clone package-repo
make changes in package repo
commit
push repo somewhere
send pull request to package maintainer
Is that the anticipated workflow?
That works. Or if it wasn't a package you planned to work on often,
git send-email can email the changes in a format suitable for git am
to import.
Should I use
fedorapeople.org webspace to push the repository to (a
newer git version there would be nice then)
Why is a new version needed? For simply pushing and pulling changes,
the version provided in EPEL should be fine. It manages to work well
enough on fedorahosted, which gets a decent amount of use.
Incidentally, if you'd like to see an updated git for EL-5, point
anyone you know that uses emacs-git my way. AFAIK, the only hang up
to updating EPEL to git-1.7 is working out how to maintain the emacs
support¹.
