Upcoming Fedora kernel workflow changes
Hi folks,
This should come as no surprise to those who have been following the
kernel list and/or saw Laura's Flock talk last summer, but there are
some changes to the way the Fedora kernel is maintained coming in the
next couple of weeks.
For those folks who aren't committing directly to the kernel dist-git,
this change won't really impact you, although contributing might be
easier.
We're planning to switch from maintaining the kernel directly in the
dist-git to using a kernel source tree along with a set of scripts to
turn the source tree into something that can be automatically checked
into the dist-git. This means anything committed directly to the dist-
git repository will get overwritten on the next update.
The git repository is currently hosted at
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/. Documentation (still very
rough) for common tasks is at
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/wikis/home. There are a few
outstanding merge requests to get the tree fully synced up with the
current state of the dist-git repository, so if you decide to jump in
and try things out, be aware things might not work.
As part of this, we're going to start bridging merge requests to this
list as emailed patch series for those who prefer email, and turn any
emailed patches to the list into merge requests, so the list is going
to get quite a bit more traffic.
Regards,
Jeremy
