[aur-general] AUR 4.0 and existing git repositories
Hi, I've been reading about the upcoming AUR 4.0 with git repositories for each package (which is very much welcome for a variety of reasons!). I'm curious how existing packages will be handled. I already keep git repos for my packages, so it would be nice to be able to import those directly for two reasons: * To share the existing history with everyone else. * If packages are imported as-are into new repositories, then I can't push the existing repos. I'll need to create clone the AUR-generated ones, and work on those, loosing all my history. Has this sort of scenario been given any thought? Cheers and thanks for the hard work! -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right. Q: Why should I start my reply below the quoted text?

Ah, thanks, yes, that covers it. Will all AUR mantainers get a notification when this migration period starts? I kinda don't follow aur-general too closely, generally, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
