[wpe-webkit] [PSA] Release branches moving to Git/GitHub

[Adrian Perez de Castro]

Hello everybody,

As you may already be aware, the WebKit project has started moving to
GitHub a while ago. In the last days some WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit
release branches have been migrated as well, including the branch for
the current stable (2.36.x) series. All the branches will be eventually
in the Git repository, but may take some time to get there.

Same as before, the same branch is used to produce releases for *both*
the GTK and WPE ports. These branches are named “webkitgtk/X.Y”, for
example the current release branch is “webkitgtk/2.36” and can be found
here:

  https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/tree/webkitgtk/2.36

Release tags are named “webkitgtk-X.Y.Z” and “wpewebkit-X.Y.Z”,
respectively. These are proper Git tags, signed with the packager's
GPG keys--the same ones used for release tarballs. The first released
tagged in Git is 2.36.4:

  https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/tree/webkitgtk-2.36.4
  https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/tree/wpewebkit-2.36.4

We may look into creating Git tags for older releases at some point,
once we have migrated the missing older branches. The Subversion
repository will be kept in read-only mode for the time being.

Packaged releases (tarballs) are unaffected by these changes. Their
distribution and announcement channels will continue working the same.

Cheers,
—Adrián
