Hi All,

In the CBS/Infra meeting on Monday we agreed to start a discussion here
on the mailing list about how to handle "ad-hoc" upstreams. An ad-hoc
upstream could best be described as a project we would like to ship that
is developed within the CentOS community (centpkg is one example).

Developers of an ad-hoc upstream need some extra infra (e.g. a git repo
for doing active development) in addition to the dist-git repo on
git.centos.org where the package specs live.

I would like to start the policy and procedure discussion with the
following proposals:

- Host the ad-hoc development repositories on git.centos.org in separate
  Gitblit projects 

- Host the ad-hoc development repositories on Github, linked to the
  CentOS project group

- Host the ad-hoc development repositories someplace else? 

Thanks!
Brian
