I really do wonder if there will ever be even a semi-official emacs repository on github. I suspect not, but think it would be interesting to see if people contributed to emacs using PRs.
- JoshTriplett 12y agoOfficial or semi-official? Never, unless github's server goes FOSS at some point. When someone attempted to get github mirrors of GNOME or GCC declared "official", the official response was that anything hosted on a proprietary git hosting site should never be official.
- SEJeff 12y agoAfraid you're somewhat incorrect on the GNOME repos. I happen to be one of the org members for the GNOME org on github: https://github.com/gnome https://github.com/gnome It isn't the primary, but it is very much an official mirror. GNOME and the FSF often disagree, even if RMS will have you think otherwise.
- JoshTriplett 12y agoInteresting; thanks for the correction. Last time I'd seen that discussion, I thought the conclusion was that it was a supported mirror (as in, the GNOME project would keep it up to date), just not an endorsed mirror (as in, the GNOME project doesn't officially recommend its use).
- SEJeff 12y agoGuess it depends on whom you ask :)
- kuschku 12y agoGitHub? Probably not. But a local instance of GitLab? A lot more realistic, considering it’s Open Source and quite similar to GitHub actually.
- sytse 12y agoWould love to see that :)
