[systemd-devel] git branches of stable Fedora releases

Hello,

a few people were interested in seeing the git tree from which I 
generate the patches for source RPMs in Fedora.

The tree is now available at:
git://fedorapeople.org/~michich/systemd.git
Gitweb is here:
http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=michich/public_git/systemd.git

The branches of interest are "f16" and "f17".

As each Fedora release grows older, the criteria by which I choose what 
patches to add from upstream to the branch get increasingly strict:
  - At the beginning I add bugfixes and even some features, as long as
    they're not known to cause incompatibilities or regressions.
  - Later I start avoiding features and add only bugfixes.
  - If Fedora <N> is already released, the branch for Fedora <N-1> will
    get only fixes for bugs I consider important or bugs specifically
    reported by users of Fedora <N-1>.

Regards,
Michal
