[CentOS-devel] working around stacked updates

[Guillaume Derval]

I currently don’t understand anything of what is happening on git.centos.org. Seems far too complicated for me.

I don’t understand why a « rhel7 » branch does not exist… I think it would be simpler for everyone. Red Hat would simply put new sources on that branch, then CentOS developers would merge it with c7.

And it would certainly help to shut down this stupid controversy about « Red Hat taking the control of CentOS ».

Guillaume Derval.
