Why not move xfs infra-structure to "public" services
Hi guys,
I'm sorry for this kind of "fancy" question from my side, but I'm wondering why xfs project infra-structure (mailing list, git trees), does not use the "usual public" services. I mean, does anyone thought about moving xfs mailing list to vger.kernel.org, and the git trees to git.kernel.org?
Sorry about been asking it mainly because I'm too lazy to keep deleting spams from my inbox, and also, because having 'everything I need' in a single place (kernel.org) would make my life easier (and probably many other lives :).
Anyway, it's just a question/suggestion, please don't get me wrong here. IIRC there were some discussion regarding this some time ago, but, I'm not sure where the discussion stopped and/or if any decision were taken.
Cheers o>

I think it's still the plan, but takes some time & effort & coordination.

Thanks for the answer. And, if people need help to move it, let me know, I'm willing to spend time helping the move.
cheers

vger.kernel.org has rude postmasters (at least one of them) that are unwilling to help with vger related issues.
Personal experience unfortunately.

I'm already using git.kernel.org for my master XFS trees. The ones on oss.sgi.com are simply now downstream mirrors. There's still a few things I need to organise (e.g. where release tarballs are put) before we make the kernel.org trees the official source of XFS source code.
We already have a [email protected] mailing list - we just don't use it. Again, more organisation stuff to do to switch over (i.e. forwarding from [email protected] to the vger list) and then updating documentation everywhere and getting people to start using it.
Cheers,
Dave.

Can I use your kernel.org tree from now then?
Regarding the mailing list, let me know if you need some help

Sure - it's already the tree that is included into the linux-next builds and the tree I ask linus to pull from...
