Thanks for clarifying. Any inherent reason you want to keep it like this instead of a post-receive hook? I do not see any concrete benefit for keeping Github slightly more "pristine' than our repository: someone who builds off master will in all likelihood not be using the Github URL, but our repo's url anyway. Furthermore, I do not consider such a difference useful (especially since it is not documented) - keeping both "complete" and up to date is IMHO good. Of course, the concrete benefit I am trying to get is to move fetch/pull load away from VideoLAN/our host more generally to Github who are much less starved for resources than us. > > [...] > > > -- > Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB > > When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and > there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up > some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. -- Plato > > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel > _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
