This makes it a lot easier to test other peoples patches. If you look at the statistics for the user repositories, you see that there are 5 people with user repositories, including mine, and last updates were from correa: 3 months ago, wberrier: 2 months ago, tpetazzoni: 9 days ago ulf: 33 hours ago jacmet: - This does not indicate a high level of popularity to me. Maybe people are keeping trees in other locations, but that means that they are hidden from most users. In reality, the way Buildroot works today seems to be that people are sending patches to the mailing-list. It is fairly easy to set up common git trees, by creating a "common" user with a git subdirectory and then have a symbolic link in each user directory to this git directory with group write permissions. > In Buildroot, there's no ? development tree ? in the current > development model.
