How do I push the definition of the linus remote repo?
You can't. Remotes are local to a repository. They cannot be
"pushed" nor will they be "cloned" or "fetched".
Dreamhost is way slow compared to kernel.org, so it is better to clone
from kernel.org first and then pull from dreamhost. What is the right
sequence of commands so that a new user will end up with a kernel they
can use 'git pull' on to get updates from dreamhost? I'll add these to
the repo description page.
I'm trying this locally and I can't figure out the right sequence of
git command to redirect origin from kernel.org to dreamhost.
How about the following (untested sequence)
mkdir linux-2.6
cd linux-2.6
git init
git remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/
torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git remote add origin ssh://jonsmirl1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/~/
mpc5200b.git
git fetch linus
git fetch origin
git checkout -b master origin/master
The general idea should be correct. You have a non-standard
setup, so avoid git-clone.
