Git repositories for CFFI

Hi,

The CFFI web page http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/ points to the git repository http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/cffi/cffi.git, but that is no longer the official git repository for CFFI, it is on github now.  The cl.net repo is severely out of date (master looks OK, but the  fsbv branch is ancient and libffi doesn't even show).  The web page should point to github, and the cl.net repo should either be deleted or synced up with github.

Thanks,
Liam

I updated the mirroring script to fetch all remote branches. Seems to be
fine now

Would it be possible for you to get push access to cl.net, rather than 
having the rest of us start following a different repository?

I understand Zach's post recommending Github; but unfortunately Github 
encourages a fractured community, leading to messages like yours (hey 
everybody, look over here) and almost caracitured by Cyrus.

Installing gitolite on cl.net would make git hosting much easier for end 
users to manage.  Keeping everything in one place, where trusted admins 
can add and remove users, should be more conducive to community 
development.

Imagine if SBCL changed repositories or even websites depending on whether 
Christophe or Juho was rolling the release...  Stability and 
predictability are virtues.

I do have an account on cl.net, so if the CFFI maintainers want to set it up this way, I can certainly push to cl.net; it makes no difference to me.  I was stating what I understand to be an official decision about using github, which happened some time ago.  The rest of your message arguing about whether or not github is a good idea is not for me to weigh in on; that is for Luis and the other maintainers of CFFI to address.  I was just pointing out the unsynchronized nature of the repositories and lack of consistency in what people see.

I see your point. By default, Github does seem to encourage the
scenario you're alluding to. However, CFFI on github is setup as a
project, not as a personal repository and several people have the
commit bit.

Cheers,
