The rsync git mirror on github is up arlready I have been using this, for some months, and has been working great. I have this: /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf: [gentoo] location = /var/lib/portage/repos/gentoo sync-type = git sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo-portage-rsync-mirror auto-sync = true
Will this be preferred for users or should we users consider change to the same repo devs will commit to? I know I care about history, but not always, and not in every computer I have that uses gentoo, I'm fine with reading it from the copy of the new git repo I already have in my directory dedicated to messing around with overlays. > You can of course clone any of the URLs under > https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/ to get the latest changes > now straight from git.

(I have read you will avoid merge commits, will devs be in charge of rebasing pull request from users?)
