Hi all. I'm considering making some changes to the way I arrange the git trees, partly in fulfillment of suggestions posted on this list already and would like your input. Proposed changes are: - Make one big git tree instead of separate ones for each branch - For each vanilla kernel version, have a upstream and a tuxonice branch, hence upstream-3.0, tuxonice-3.0, upstream-3.1, tuxonice-3.1, upstream-head, tuxonice-head and so on - Tags for tuxonice branches will be in the format tuxonice-<tuxonice-version>-for-<upstream-version> so that there will be no namespace difficulties - At any time, only the 2 most recent upstream releases will get TuxOnIce updates. This will reduce the amount of testing I need to do before releases. Until now, I've only tended to drop old releases when more recent changes make backporting too much effort. If these changes sound good to people, I'll start implementing them. Hopefully I'll then be able to fix up my long neglected scripts and get regular updates and patches going again.
