(adding ubuntu-devel, since this is a pretty general question that applies to all Ubuntu devs)

But if you want integration with uploads going in to Ubuntu from non-git sources, we don't have that yet. We have tooling. You can run our new importer locally on a particular package and maintain a local git tree based on uploads to the archive yourself. However, there are still things to figure out, such as dgit integration, where branches should live and be shared permanantely, and so forth. This is why we don't have a ready-to-clone git tree for packages anywhere yet. So it's very much still at the experimental stage. If you're interested in experimenting, please join us; but if you want something stable in the most general use case sense, I don't think we're ready yet. We are already using our importer in the server team for general work (both "Ubuntu merges" and more regular bugfix-type merge requests), storing git repositories in ~usd-import-team for now. But there's still quite a bit of churn happening around this I think. We also don't yet have consensus that our way is the way forward, though I'm not aware of anyone else currently working on an alternative way. http://launchpad.net/usd-importer Robie -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
