+ <tschwinge> I also have it on my (never-ending) agenda to add libpthread to
+ the tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker branch and/or propose it be added upstream
+ (as a Git submodule?).
+ <pinotree> imho a git submodule could be a solution, if glibc people would
+ accept it
+ <pinotree> if so, libpthread.git would need proper glibc/x.y branches to
+ follow glibc
+ <tschwinge> Yep.
+ <tschwinge> I though that would be the least invasive approach for glibc
+ upstream -- and quite convenient for us, too.
+ <pinotree> after all, git submodules don't track branches, but point to
+ specific commits, no?
+ <tschwinge> Correct.
+ <tschwinge> So we can do locally/in Debian whatever we want, and every once
+ in a while update the upstream glibc commit ID for libpthread.
+ <pinotree> so we could update the git submodule references in glibc when
+ we've tested enough libpthread changes
+ <tschwinge> Just like when committing patches upstream, just without
+ pestering them with all the patches/commits.
+ <tschwinge> Yep.
