[gentoo-user] Infrastructure?

Just curious, but how are gentoo's infra assets organized?

Do you guys use VMs on top of hardware machines and whatnot?

Reasons for asking:

* general curiosity
* wondering how a migration to use anongit.gentoo.org instead of github
would go, particularly if it would help ease pressure on the rsync servers
if demand went down
- I heard something about a social contract where relying on third parties
was a frowny point.

Popping in to #gentoo-infra and chatting with the folks there may get
you a faster response.

As far as I know, we accept pull requests from the GitHub mirror *or* a
standard `git format-patch` e-mail.

We do have a social contract[1] which indicates that we will not depend
on proprietary software. That said, the GitHub mirror is there for
convenience; I'm betting part of why we use it on the side is because it
already meshes well with Git to begin with and can be a good 'gateway'
for new contributors.

We also accept patches on the gentoo-dev ML or (depending on the
developer) personal e-mails or Bugzilla bugs. You might want to check
out a few pages on the wiki regarding how we handle contributions, or
pop in #gentoo-proxy-maint on Freenode.

Probably should clarify that I wasn't talking about patches.  I just
remember the big git migration and was wondering if the syncing process
itself would be moved under anongit.gentoo.org at some point so that we
could avoid relying on github (per social contact thingy)

Also it appears that #gentoo-infra is invite only.

Everything hosted on gentoo.org currently lacks metadata.  I'm sure
somebody could create a repo there which contains the same content as
the repos on github, but I'm not sure if Gentoo's infra is set up to
handle that load, and there is no mirror network.  In any case, I'm
not aware of anybody working on such a project.
