Subject: Re: github mirror fixed
Martin,
Is the issue that fedora hosted cannot accept update/pull requests from
github?
The github mirror is supposed to be a read-only repo. We mirror one way, from fedorahosted
to github. If something appears in the github repo that is not in the fedorahosted repo,
that creates conflicts. There is no established process where commits in github mirror
repo get to the fedorahosted repo.
Long story short - no, fedorahosted can't accept github pull requests.
Would the following workflow be viable,
Fedorahosted is upstream master repo for SSG.
GitHub has a downstream SSG repo that always follows upstream at fedora
hosted and is essentially read-only.
GitHub has a second downstream SSG repo called SSGdev.
We could do pull requests on SSGdev and yourself, Shawn an Jan can pull from
SSGdev to upstream Fedorahosted (maybe through traditional process).
Yes, this is possible but I am not the one to decide that :-) Personally I'd prefer to
move the repos that I work on to github because it's more convenient for me. IMO pull
requests > mailing list patches.
