I noticed there is no merging/update activities on the gitlab website: https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/merge_requests?scope=all&state=...
I wonder if it's used.
It's used mainly for the plain git hosting. I rarely use the more advance features, and almost never access the web interface.
The reason for asking is that I'm willing to integrate a ppc64le-specific implementation using SIMD registers for the SHA-2 algorithm so I would create an Issue to discuss it and then submitting the code as a Merge Request. But only if that's the way for upstreaming code on nettle. If not, please advise if this list can be used.
Discussion should take place on this list. You can mail patches here, or create a merge request on gitlab. But in the latter case, please send a note here too, otherwise it might be overlooked.
Sorry for using the "nettle-bugs" mailing list, which is not a discussion mailing list.
It's just old GNU tradition to name a project mailing list *-bugs. Traffic hasn't been high enough to warrant splitting into multiple lists for diffferent purposes.
