A huge thank you for the massive detailed planning and successful execution -
very, very much appreciated.
Hope you all celebrate lots!
Congratulations to the successful migration!
Since we from archlinux32 are basically end-to-end testing your git setup,
I have two minor criticisms on the new setup / the transition (I really
prefer the new setup over the old one, don't get me wrong!):
1st: It would have been nice to have some testing setup around, so we
could have adapted our scripts beforehand. But maybe, the test
repositories were around and I just didn't look hard enough. No heart
feelings, here - our users are used to somewhat bigger latencies :-D
2nd: The mapping from pkgbase to the source repository is not clear. Most
packages' repository is named exactly like the pkgbase. But when the
pkgbase contains a "+", it is sometimes transcribed as "plus" (e.g. for
libc++) and sometimes as "-" (e.g. for gtk2+extra). This makes automatic
pulling of the needed repository unclean (we have to try several
transcriptions, until one works).
But as i previously said: all in all a nice layout - we don't have to
clone two huge, quasi-arbitrarily-divided repositories - I was able to
remove a lot of code from our buildmaster :-D
