Guys,

Since I found that our documentation is full of obsolete information,
I tried to reach to people responsible for RDO privately. The response
wasn't particularly helpful, circling back to the same useless docs:

Dashboard is not even the repo! It's for reviews only!

Meanwhile, all the documents we have continue to state things like:

   RDO packages currently use Fedora dist-git and fedpkg is used to obtain it,
   for example:

      $> fedpkg clone openstack-nova

   ......

   With all the prerequisites met, it's time to clone the package dist-git
   using fedpkg.

      $> fedpkg clone openstack-$PROJECT

(in https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation/rdo-packaging/)

Naturally, anyone doing "fedpkg clone openstack-swift" gets a "dead.pacakge"
stub.

So, what do everyone clone? If someone could do this, it would be helpful:

  grep url openstack-nova/.git/config

Greetings,
-- Pete
