Hi,
Imagine situation that somebody is working on KDE rebase and me on
libgit2 rebase. Both involve rebuilding/updating some package, let's
say kf5-ktexteditor.
We both work in different side tags, in KDE rebase kf5-ktexteditor
gets updated to a new version. In libgit2 rebase, old version gets
rebuilt.
[…]
Do you think that scales?
But, what is different here from the Fedora circles / Fedora modules /
etc endeavours? Isn’t the root problem synchronizing common code paths,
because free software means pervasive code reuse, apps ends up being
deployed together, and un-sharing generates collisions / API
incompatibilities / behaviour incompatibilities / config file
incompatibilities / un-adressed security issues?
What makes it possible in modules but not in side tags?
Regards,
