Again I have no strong opinion here but rather try to understand why one would use a different workflow as with other packages (which e.g. results in the discussion being split between mailing list and giltab).
Well, the thing is still, there is no branch I can start a MR against (at least I think). There is not even yet a tag 2.93 on soure.p.s., there is currently only the old master branch which isn't connected anyhow to the "mother" tree on Salsa.
This is an issue with all packages on source.puri.sm - both pureos/core and pureos/packages are not connected to Salsa or to Laniakea.
These repo groupings (core and packages) likely no longer serve the same purpose as originally - namely to be "complete and corresponding" source code for all the packages in PureOS. We likely ought to have a plan or create one for how we can have a one-to-one correspondence between source code in a git repo and the binaries in the archives to make support easier.
If it would exist at all this mail traffic wouldn't needed and I've started directly any discussion within a MR.
If the outcome is there is no problem to create a starting branch pureos/latest by preparing the tree on source.p.s then I'm of course fine with this. I'm unsure if I would can do that, given to the permissions for Developers I should.
My take for using merge requests for about everything is that it keeps the discussion close to the code (and searchable).
This makes sense but this list can be a very valuable resource for those new to PureOS, for making policy, and for other co-ordination. So I for one welcome Carsten's mail to the list.
I fully understand this. But I'm quite conservative about possible direct action on "hot" repositories as I'm still new and like to prevent any damages.
Sensible.
