Maintain your own forks of the libraries you need.
Exactly this. This is just one reason I really like to "git clone --mirror" onto my server, then clone from that, and work from there.
- beagle3 13y agoWhat's the benefit of that, as opposed to cloning upstream and working on that clone? How does the intermediate mirror help?
- npsimons 13y agoI've run into the problem (with some Emacs add-ons in particular), of changing something on one machine, only to miss that change in another. So, if I've got my own "central" repo, I can push changes to that and pull them down to other machines. Since I site the repos on a server I have online already, it is also trivially easy to make it publicly "pullable" for others if need be.
