All the standard benefits of the GitHub organisations feature and collaborative maintenance in general; a single location for related projects, a stable location for projects that doesn't change as people come and go, a single location for patches to go rather than a collection of different forks, an easy way to continue maintenance when people move on, not losing the issue and pull request database every time there is a new fork, not having to change project name after forks (see libusbg vs libusbgx), a focal point that leads to more usage and code review as more people get involved.=20 > If Debian hasn't already packaged up any of these, that's a huge > indication that no one actually uses them :) I assume Android have their own thing but Samsung use them in Tizen, Collabora use them and have a blog series on them. They haven't spread outside of that due to poor marketing, every other situation seems to use fiddly, manual and non-dynamic poking of files in configfs. https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/search-results.html?search=3Dgadget= &id=3D655&simplesearch_offset=3D0 > What projects are not in Debian already that somehow need to be > there? All the Linux USB gadget stuff is missing from most distributions; the core projects libusbg/libusbgx, gt, gadgetd and individual gadgets such as cmtp-responder, ptp-gadget etc. With non-Android Linux based phones (Pinephone & Librem) starting to get a bit of traction, packaging the core + gadgets is needed. --=20 bye, pabs https://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/ --=-2PbvljVfGWMGkrIGiwPw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEYQsotVz8/kXqG1Y7MRa6Xp/6aaMFAmAfJiQACgkQMRa6Xp/6 aaMfAxAAjU88K7luciBYg6Gyb+MXfGHtFppcnWNoQFQi57IgPf1E56zK8OssVTCw YAACMS565XCOGdxpEAKQdUzlgIWvGsXxbvSaGThcku8EhCRNQcrmEhB3jye09tKb 2doUpwKBOjJrRAbMM+k+KuTBTg4Z1W6JarTC3Mw+Nmj/jFsfM7o3WwzVKFBSqQ2r IjMwM4f5PguE6QWgYt54jks6WsYy41Vd6efvslw4XeCY4BnXoBulLuYiV5GGjkP5 wD28V7YngR3winBRZMlXEfr4SkIyNQmdu1RC+RtiGEMzlfMlI89YKO2uAYx1Vzjm bz78ul9K9GEzMM0xYgd77JMwHB6Tmo4Y9qZDAhWG1be5VYisk/ew5MGKD6aUYi9M 8MfODBAUIE2oAfbBgY53n/7rjhEU4orT+CEVfQb6v/jE3c//qTaONdv+rioBIqVZ aoRxM4+LaXSDHfkOLOdiOm67dH2XUkUZKs+sk/06MbfQnR+tjC7Re+qUJvYaDCeh GeGo9H4c686fk+sWCYEI28luwTFwvxlJW4MUJ4SbuNdrgPo9He2ayXJNVn3d4fNE irLhMQahq7NOFQz+e+iued+E3bifwGFxrNFJtHrriaNiurbU8mZ3nCbqTirwEGam ZaxcmfZpJboqD0rpgy4by4itfGLg7KFch0F81ep+w4ubGeGuG2g= =FnXP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-2PbvljVfGWMGkrIGiwPw--
