The intent is to replace the tracking we currently do in xen.git with tracking in raisin.git, not to keep the two in sync. It'll have to run alongside until we actually remove that stuff from xen.git though. For example, we do not want to just track seabios master, that is a development version. I (as maintainer) want to track seabios releases which are tested against Xen, especially for a release. OVMF and qemu-trad are also similarly managed in Config.mk. Stefano, I think it would be good to also import the little comment snippet associated with the manually maintained revisions in Config.mk. For the other branches Config.mk automatically tracks the outputs of the various osstest push gates. It looks like raisin's defconfig already mostly does that. I think we should consider whether for libvirt raisin should be using git://xenbits.xen.org/libvirt.git#xen-tested-master by default. We should also consider for linux whether to use our tested tree on xenbits, but I think that is less likely to be desirable. BTW, the canonical URL for Linus' tree is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git not what is currently in defconfig. Ian.
