I just remembered from the Xen Developer Summit that a few people complained that a lot of the patch series posted to the ML really should be available as a repo because they were quite large and hard to review. I see this comment come up over and over on the ML myself as well so I was just trying to lower the barriers to people doing that. I know the reason people don't isn't technical so this isn't really a technical solution but I figured this is more a social thing. GitHub has the ability to mark a repo as a mirror and not allow pull requests or issues, which is what I would recommend. I'm just looking at improving the community aspect. I could create an organization called "xen-mirror" and get it setup and turn it over to the Xen Project. Again, I'm fine with an answer of "no" here. Just trying to pitch out ideas to solve what some see as an irritation. --=20 Doug Goldstein --DO4ME14cbxbRQ8KvWLvGmBmSlI8jDKFMQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJWp6wqXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRBNTM5MEQ2RTNFMTkyNzlCNzVDMzIwOTVB MkJDMDNEQzg3RUQxQkQ0AAoJEKK8A9yH7RvU0bkQAJJ8XeQc34qSzfDy3FQsWW+F G+OYB4ysYPgwdKtG5adGJhUevzsfmS32tGhyXqEeZt3XS9gTkmV8u7UVAolle8Da 1Vz8/XLPDYaYeZXOdIoTT1iDJ10fLtbvu/4KIFd+rsb2Bk6orZ2N2gxHg8kAo2gI G3480K4pc0Kr/cvwXUZ7G/ZozDtFXWcG/nFdC34UfPmVHd7riH+KNpj473RYbdnn ZcYUk99pKMS1V+8f6XxSd4A1Ls3IJOG1thUxwGkDVao4MzBk2tc/IIBZCDnoV9cs XQtX338WRXBV0OjY0ZLMgx++HSphY4rCYx6cVI9wIXOxXwVbuquPBHJBmaqiQvAn XexEDfyKzuNJcf/lhHOIxOSaPBW14IPBeyyGhqjlPjZELpxnZ6NAMrW2QfezUuM3 Y9ix1ealxI57s1AYXmH93o56O2O3u0QanOfNkhC4qglE3EeMnaR/Ho3p2Ki33E9g PelgCdodhvCx5475W7XZlQ1t49fmCO3WZcO9A9potBAoHeWyCbZtVv/O1FtCtTTZ j1yvCCFH186xDz9HHZAt+5SMcqVRgEdboDEEocAhy5BthFC/arfC6jHt5AKMfpAL 0NDiExlcUlpplpbXefZPIZCceBwFPnlcSHSCpmcVwiTH3e+Oj2NIRiB8s8ETvHsf QiI4Hp31apP5kontw1Y1 =aCBT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DO4ME14cbxbRQ8KvWLvGmBmSlI8jDKFMQ-- --===============3409600427204799718== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel --===============3409600427204799718==--
