Is there anything else that needs being > covered? Thank you, Michał, for preparing an official guide from all the spread informations. I think it is important for Gentoo to have such GLEP. I think we should not bundle GLEPs to companies, but keep it more abstract. The GLEP should still be valid, if we do not use github anymore. Many large repositories have shut down in the last years. Even after years we have not fixed all ebuilds [1]. We must be prepared, to loose github very suddenly and should not hope that it will end with an announcement years before. Hence, I suggest to write the GLEP without naming "github" a single time. [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upstream_repository_shutdowns -- Best, Jonas
