[openchrome-devel] Heads up: Xorg repository moves

[Kevin Brace]

Hi Adam,

I am fine with bringing OpenChrome DDX under xorg namespace, but I think OpenChrome DRM and Mesa should stay put.
I remember back from Year 2016 and 2017 that I could not automatically package and upload OpenChrome DDX using /util/modular script due it not supporting OpenChrome DDX.
It took a while to realize why it was not working, and it turned out that it did not have a special entry specifically for OpenChrome in the script.
To resolve this, I looked at how the script worked for Nouveau and made customization for OpenChrome.
I am also fine with CI being activated.
I just hope this transition will go smoothly since I do not really like dealing with administrative issues.

Regards,

> Hey, if you haven't been following xorg-devel@, we're planning to move
> our repository hosting to freedesktop's gitlab instance. This is

> but you get continuous integration hooks for free if you want them.
> Longer term, we'd like to move from a bugzilla/mailing list model to
