Re: [Xen-devel] [Need Input] (informal) Automotive PV drivers subproject request

[Artem Mygaiev <artem.mygaiev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So:

* we need an official xenbits.org/pvdrivers.git repo; it would also come
with its own mailing list if desired
* in addition we need integration branches for xen.git, linux.git,
pvdrivers.git - it appears that the consensus here is that we use the
same pattern as elsewhere

Rather, we should have:

 Âxenbits.xen.org/automotive/pvdrivers.git
 Âxenbits.xen.org/automotive/linux.git
 Âxenbits.xen.org/automotive/xen.git
 Âetc.

(FSVO "automotive"; I currently have no opinion about the project
name.)

That would make sense. So we follow the convention xenbits.xen.org/<subproject name>/pvdrivers.git

âI like the idea :)â

However, if we allowed linux.git and xen.git in xenbits.xen.org/<subproject name>, it does increase the risk of creating a permanent fork (i.e. the main concerns raised by IanC, Stefano, etc.)

âTrue. But this is always a risk (like with mentioned XenRT), even without staging trees in subprojectsâ. To me it is more a matter of maintainers' and community discipline...
