[Libguestfs] Development and hosting arrangements (was: Re: Is there something wrong with http://git.annexia.org/)

First of all, http://git.annexia.org/ should be back up now. The problem was 'pilot error' -- I accidentally removed libvirt from that server, which generally broke things. Secondly, starting in January I hope we can agree on some changes to the libguestfs development and hosting arrangement, to bring it more in line with how libvirt is developed, and to resolve some other issues. In brief: - Host the main git repo on a public git site (such as github - TBD). - Allow more people to commit directly to the repository. - Have some sort of agreement on patch review, number of ACKs (TBD). - Use gerrit for patch review? - We'll move libguestfs.org to a new host which will allow other people to upload things; I know hillu wants to host some Debian packages, and unfortunately this is not possible with the current hosting arrangement. We can't do any of the above until the beginning of January, so this email isn't to open a discussion. Let's have that in the new year.
