git tree urls

git tree urls

[ael]

I have trouble locating some of the git urls (the mm repository, for
example). I have browsed around
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/,
consulted the kernel FAQ, and read the obvious links on www.kernel.org.

git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.x.y.git is easy
to find, and I would guess that the main development repository is
pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/
but that is speculation.

Can someone who knows take a minute or two to put a note of the main
urls on www.kernel.org or the FAQ, or have I just missed something?

-mm is not maintained in git, but in quilt format.  The latest version is 
on the ftp server in akpm's people directory.

... but is also synced to the git repository at 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git every 
time new -mm is released.

Have a look at Andrew's announcements of -mm when he releases one.

At www.kernel.org, click on "C" = "current changesets" of the 2.6 kernel
series to get to the gitweb interface of Linus' tree.  There you find
the URL to feed to "git clone" if you want to track Linus' tree.

Look at http://git.kernel.org/ for available repositories.

Sure, I looked there in some depth. But some/most are special purpose or
 'locals'. One needs a map for the "main" repositories...

Thanks for the reply.

Indeed, a page on kernelnewbies.org with the most important repositories
would be helpful.

Well, to start:

torvalds/linux-2.6.git	Mainline
jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git	Network devices
davem/net-2.6.git	Networking
x86/linux-2.6-x86.git	x86
mchehab/v4l-dvb.git	V4L and DVB
bunk/trivial.git	Spellos, typos and the obvious

But it's not that easy. netdev-2.6.git for example regularly gets merged
into net-2.6.git, so you get a fairly recent netdev tree by choosing
either netdev or net.

Also explaining the rotation of those two trees would be useful (I
suppose some other subsystems too use somewhat similar rotation). I.e., 
net-2.6.26.git will eventually be opened and new development should be 
based on it (whenever such tree with a future version number is 
available), and that tree then becomes net-2.6.git once 2.6.25 is out. 
net-2.6.git is usually for fixes only unless merge window is currently 
open. These things come up quite often.
