Hello,
Systems team recently made some cleanups and elaborations to Linaro git services, information about which we'd like to share here. None of these changes require immediate changes on your side (compatibility with old usage ways is kept), but we'd like to draw some attention to them anyway, as they should make life a bit easier, especially for newstarters, so it would be nice if people were aware of them and not pass old information around.
1. To access gitolite push services, "git" user is now used consistently across various hosts. (Previously, it was "git" for the main server, git.linaro.org, but various other names on team- and project-specific servers). Old names are kept for compatibility, but you will see "git@" in gitweb, and that's the preferred way to pass links to other people.
2. Our initial instructions for git services included steps of update user's SSH config in ~/.ssh/config. Based on the experience, we found that lead to confusion and surprises (for example, if you switched workstation or resetup one from scratch). So, this usage is deprecated now - instead, SSH repo URLs should contain explicit username ("git@", per above). Instructions were updated correspondingly. You can keep using your existing SSH config and cloned repos, just please pass fully specified clone URLs to other people.
Summing up:
You can look up authoritative access URLs for a repo in gitweb. E.g.: https://git.linaro.org/boot/u-boot-linaro-next.git . If you need to pass git clone info to other people, please use what's written there (giving gitweb URL is probably the easiest).
You don't need to change anything on your side.
