Re: [Moosefs-users] git source code repository

[Michal B. <mic...@ge...>]

Hi!

Let me speak about the git repositories and the code maintenance. The only
official git repository is hosted at SourceForge.net. Although MooseFS is
open source we feel highly responsible for its stability and quality - we
make extensive tests in our development and production environments and only
after that we release a new version. 

Your contributions are more than welcome but we prefer to get them in the
form of patches which we can easily analyze and test. Usually a patch
contributed by open community is "finetuned" by our team and gets published
in the next release.

Unfortunately when everybody started to commit to their branches requesting
us to test, merge, publish, etc., it would take from us lots of energy and
we would have less time for developing the code. So please understand our
point of view where the stability is our main goal.


Kind regards
Michał Borychowski

BTW, the IRC channel #moosefs is quite active and open as I know. Feel to
