Subject: a sourceware git server?
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k5qn7udj.fsf@rho.meyering.net> (raw)

Hi guys,

You may recall that I've been maintaining cvs-to-git mirrors for
device-mapper and lvm2 on et.redhat.com.  Unfortunately, that system
is off-line now (don't know why), and it's in the Phoenix colo with no
console access, so we wait...

I'm really motivated right now to set up reliable git mirrors for those
two projects.  Obviously, best would be to have the mirrors on the same
system as the mirrored repositories.

I know this is of irregular, but from our last exchange, it sounds
like no one there is motivated to work on this sort of thing.  But I
_am_ motivated, and have already done this both on et.r.c., and on
git.savannah.gnu.org.  So, ...

Could I arrange to get access to your system in order to set up
a git server, my two mirroring cron jobs, (possibly a gitweb --
just a cgi script, if you're ok with that), and to do whatever else
I can to help provide git access on sourceware?  FWIW, I'm terribly
cautious/paranoid/whatever, and not a security risk.  If you need someone
to vouch for me, Uli Drepper probably will.
