yes, I supported the idea, akmods should have a upstream source like
others packages, kmodtool too , maybe we may put it in
https://github.com/rpmfusion-infra
Well, you support the idea, but you still
don't say why ?
To me this looks harder as we need to maintain ACL from the package
and from the "upstream" sources.
On large project, this seems appropriate, but on akmods/kmodtool are
are lighter, it's just hide things behind another step.
With the current layout, we can have the akmods project forked in
github from the package, and no worry if we are a rpms fork or the
"upstream" project.
We are also reducing the reviewer range by removing the commit log
from this project. Most people on this list might be more or less
interested in kmod anyway.
And for what is upstream concerned, I think the real upstream of
kmodtool/akmods should be "rpm" itself.
@Richard, so thx for having reverted the change and for taking care of
theses tools.
