Official git mirror on github/gitorious?

Official git mirror on github/gitorious?

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello,

Searching for "openembedded" on both github and gitorious give quite a
few hits:

http://github.com/search?langOverride=&q=openembedded&repo=&start_value=1&type=Repositories
http://gitorious.org/search?q=openembedded

Was there a thought to provide official mirrors on both (or one)
services for the purpose of accounting forks?

There is an "official" Ångstrom mirror on gitorious.

Yes, seeing it made me think that it would be nice to fork it via site
means. Is there guarantee of upstream update time for it? Also, even
then it seems like a 2nd-level fork, not forking a pure OE repo
specially designed to keep track of offshots.

No we just update it sometime or other. But with git it doesn't really
matter I think.

I think you best option is to approach OE with a plan to run such
projects yourself and get the admins to put a crontab in for you which
does the update nightly or something like that.

Well, it's indeed doesn't matter much technically, and not important
for one case. But as I pointed out, there're ~30 or something forks
around. Maybe it would be good visibility, and well, PR, if there were
official mirrors on popular git hosting sites where that number
(dozen or so) could be seen directly.

Otherwise, having asked if it's already there, I better just put up
my little stuff like everybody else did so far, and hopefully proceed
to submit patches/advocate them instead ;-).

Personally I think the idea is probably good. But Id hate to ask the
already overworked OE admins to try and maintain yet another system. As
a board member i prefer the method of co-opting fellow OE users to feel
empowered to run these services themselves with support from us. The
more we can push tasks like this to ordinary developers such as yourself
the better. The more OE can spread the load the better for the whole
community.

So, given https://github.com/mirrors I'm just going to shoot them an 
email and ask what it takes to get one added.
