Description Luca Lesinigo 2010-09-27 08:58:48 UTC
In portage for over two months now, I'm personally using it since late august on gentoo/amd64, no problems so far.

Please stabilize that, and I'd also suggest dropping older releases.

A little more than one year has passed since this appearing in portage without, afaik, known issues.
I tested it on x86, amd64, hppa.

Please keyword it stable.
Comment 2 Luca Lesinigo 2012-09-24 08:57:59 UTC
For the sake of cleanliness, I'm asking to please stable this version if there isn't any showstopper. I can report it's running 25 months now on my (amd64) systems without apparent problems and I doubt there will be any news from the original gitosis "upstream" (dev-vcs/gitosis is actually at a much older release than gitosis-gentoo).
Comment 3 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-09-24 18:45:49 UTC
I vote we remove gitosis & gitosis-gentoo entirely from the tree.
Comment 4 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-11-18 10:33:23 UTC
gitosis is being lastrited.
Comment 5 Luca Lesinigo 2012-11-19 08:21:29 UTC
Could you recommend an alternative to gitosis?
Why is it being removed from tree?
Thanks.
Comment 6 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-11-19 08:32:02 UTC
Use gitolite instead.

Gitolite upstream is dead, and with Git 1.8 it won't always work quite right.

Lack of upstream development is also why Gentoo infra moved to gitolite.
