Yeah, this is what I've been pushing for forever. "Private Builds".
The use case is something like project utopia. Where you have to make a
pile of builds together in order to make some change and you want to
work with and collaborate with other people outside of the mainstream of
development. Doing so should be the click of one button. Once again,
it's about attracting developers, not really about having only one way
of doing things. And developers like to work with other people and have
a convenient place to do so.
OR to rephrase what you've just said:
it's about maintaining forks and encouraging forking.
If we setup a new repo at hosted, everytime someone wants to play with
something we'll have an infinite set of repos and we'll have a lot of
languishing and abandoned branches that never get cleaned up.
Making a repo at
fedorapeople.org is trivial and available and it
doesn't require any intervention by people in the infrastructure group.
Just drop your repo there and go!
