[gentoo-dev] What is the source for https://dev.gentoo.org/~hollow/distfiles/genqmail-*

Hi,

I'm planning to do some cleanups to the qmail stuff. One thing is that the 
genqmail tarball is from 20080406 and needs to be patched itself, which makes 
things complicated. So, does anyone know what was the source of these 
tarballs? I can't look into the directory, maybe there are even older ones? 
Otherwise I would propose to just start a new git repo for that and do a new 
snapshot with the patches already incorporated.

Greetings,

Eike

So I guess noone knows. Can someone assist me in creating a new upstream? I 
have created a new git repository with the original tarball and the 2 existing 
patches, which can be found here: https://github.com/DerDakon/genqmail

Please pick this up and move it somewhere into Gentoo git infrastructure. I 
can transfer ownership to the Github Gentoo organization if you would like. 
Afterwards I just need someone to push the button and create a new snapshot 
from that (preferably together with a git tag).

If that is done I can switch over the netqmail ebuild to use the new tarball 
so we can start to phase out the old one.

Eike

P.S.: you can find me on Freenode as Dakon if that makes things go faster

Is there really a reason to do that? Since you're maintaining it, just keep it on your gh.

I just want to prevent that the same thing happens again.

I don't see a difference between a stale repo on your GitHub account
and a stale repo on Gentoo Infra.  Except the former is easy to fork,
and the latter we have in dozens, and nobody knows what to do with them.

Then let's at least move it into the Gentoo org on GitHub and give me push 
access like it is for tatt.

We don't create any new repos on GitHub that aren't mirrors of git.g.o
repos, and the remaining GitHub origins should be removed.
