I'd like to point out that we have all the infrastructure on gerolde so that all repos are available for cloning and cgit-browsing in a central place. I don't see the point of duplicating that and scattering our infrastructure further. Currently, all Arch-related projects are hosted in a central place and I'd like to keep it that way. > Here are the reasons I have for moving the repo: > * The Trusted Users will have more control over the AUR development since > it will be on their own server. > * We can use the new infrastructure to host other TU and community > projects. > * We don't need to create superfluous shell accounts on gerolde to > for push access to those repos. Those accounts already exist on > sigurd. If you really think it is necessary, we could always put the main repo to sigurd and have a mechanism set up to sync it to gerolde (either pull with a cronjob, or push from sigurd to gerolde in post-update). As a side note, not more than one or maybe two people should have direct push access to a git repository. If anyone else wants to contribute, they should send pull requests - the maintainer of the main repository should be active enough to pull and merge them quickly though.
