Y2038 work branch in the official GLIBC git repo?

Y2038 work branch in the official GLIBC git repo?

[Albert ARIBAUD]

Hi,

I would like to make experimental work for Y2038 GLIBC available for
others to see, try and comment.

I see there are lots of branches already in the official repo at
git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git.

Would it be possible to create one for y2038 work? Apparently, many of
the existing branches are of the form 'nickname/topic' or even
'nickname/topic/subtopic'; It would be perfect if I could follow the
same convention, and create branches like 'aaribaud/y2038[/whatever]'.

Is this possible? If so, how should I proceed?

Thanks in advance!

I think as long you have write access you are free to create branches
inside your name (nickname/...).  I would just recommend you to clean
up regularly old non active branches.  For other namespace branch you
will need to check out this  [1].

You can get write access by following the steps described at 'Becoming
a maintainer (developer)' [2].
