OK, I am adding you as a collaborator to
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/slim, when you think the changes are
ready, merge them there, e.g. something like:
git clone git@???:RobPearce/slim.git
cd slim
git checkout suites/unstable
git remote add devuan git@???:devuan/slim.git
git pull --all
git push devuan
Then ping here for a review of the changes.
Afterwards to trigger a build, go to
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/slim/issues and open a new issue with
Title: build
Branch: suites/unstable
Assignee: Releasebot
Relasebot will close the issue and add build info in the comments.
There is also the option to reopen one of the previous build issues -
that is a kind of personal preference...
With best regards,
b.
