[Pkg-xen-devel] SCM and Mailing list input [u]

[Jeremy T. Bouse [c]]

    Another option might be to take the upstream hg repository and clone
for our project, we could then simply pull/update against upstream later
for upgrades.

    The way I figured we'd work with a distributed SCM would be that
each would clone off the project tree and provide the patches back that
would get imported into the main tree. We could divide were each
concentrate thier work on.

    I had originally thought of not using the full Xen tree, but in
thinking if it worked better for patch creation then it might not be a
bad idea.

    Regards,
    Jeremy
