Mixing upstreams
Hi!
I package the latest stable and the development version of linux-rt for Arch Linux.
For this I follow the tags created in linux-stable-rt [1] and linux-rt-devel [2] to rebase commits relevant for the distribution on top of non-prerelease tags in those repositories.
Yesterday I noticed, that tags from linux-rt-devel (e.g. v6.0.5-rt14 [3]) started showing up in the linux-stable-rt repository.
Was this an oversight on your end or are you starting to migrate all work on the patchset into one repository (which would also be easier for me to mirror and track downstream)?
Best,
David

To follow up on my own message above, I would like to mention that mixing upstreams makes it much harder to properly track the releases of the realtime kernels, as I can no longer rely on tags in those repositories without ignore a list of arbitrary strings (which may grow over time if someone with push access keeps pushing tags from the other repository).
It would be really great to get a reply about this.
Best,
David
