Please provide mirror on github (or some other fully-featured git hosting)

Hi,

Could you please consider mirroring debugedit's repository on some
fully-featured git hosting like GitHub?

Long story short, gitweb on sourceware is missing two features I do
really appreciate:

1. Tag/release feeds, i.e. being able to track new tags via RSS/Atom
reader.  Gitweb only supports 'all commits' feed.  I suppose it's not
that bad with relatively low number of commits but then if all
projects...  I suppose you get where this is going.

2. Snapshots.  I mean, I just spend 15 minutes trying to find a way to
grab a newer-than-release tree in a tarball from sourceware and there
doesn't seem to be any.

Setting up a mirror on GitHub would provide the missing features
and also increase project's visibility.  But anything with fully-
featured web frontend would work, e.g. cgit, gitlab...

github being mostly proprietary isn't very appealing, but sourcehut
looks nice. So here you go:

https://git.sr.ht/~sourceware/debugedit

I'll try to automate the mirroring this weekend.

Have fun,

Mark

Thanks.  It seems to have both features I mentioned.

debugedit (and some other sourceware hosted projects) are now mirrored
automatically: https://sr.ht/projects/~sourceware/

They are "read-only" repos but you can clone them on sourcehut and use
the "Prepare a patchset" button to submit patches to the project.
sourcehut can generate the appropriate git send-email commands and/or
sent the patches for you.

Cheers,

Mark
