numpy vendor repo

Hi,
Today I wanted to add something to https://github.com/numpy/vendor and realised that this repo is in pretty bad shape. A couple of years ago Ondrej took a copy of the ATLAS binaries in that repo and started a new repo (not a fork) at https://github.com/certik/numpy-vendor. The latest improvements were made by Julian and live at https://github.com/juliantaylor/numpy-vendor.
I'd like to start from numpy/vendor, then add all commits from Julian's numpy-vendor on top of it, then move things around so we have the binaries/sources/tools layout back and finally update the README so it's clear how to build both the ATLAS binaries and Numpy releases.
Any objections or better ideas?
Ralf

No objections from me, getting all the good stuff together in an easily found place is a plus.

Done in the master branch of https://github.com/rgommers/vendor. I think that "numpy-vendor" is a better repo name than "vendor" (which is pretty much meaningless outside of the numpy github org), so I propose to push my master branch to https://github.com/numpy/numpy-vendor and remove the current https://github.com/numpy/vendor repo.
I'll do this in a couple of days, unless there are objections by then.

As the original creator of vendor, I am +1 on this as well !

Can you not just rename the repository on GitHub?

Yes, that is possible. The difference is small in this case (retaining the 1 closed PR fixing a typo; there are no issues), but after looking it up I think renaming is a bit less work than creating a new repo. So I'll rename.

This is done now.
If anyone wants to give it a try, the instructions in README.txt should work for producing working Windows installers. The only thing that's not covered is the install and use of Vagrant itself, because the former is platform-dependent and the latter is basically only the very first terminal line of http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/ (but read on for a bit, it's useful).
Feedback on how to document that repo better are very welcome. I'll be looking at improving the documentation of how to release and what a release manager does as well soon.
Cheers, Ralf

One other thing: would be good to agree how we deal with updates to that repo. The users of numpy-vendor can be counted on one hand at the moment, so we probably should be less formal about it then for our other repos. How about everyone can push simple doc and maintenance updates directly, and more interesting changes go through a PR that the author can merge himself after a couple of days? That at least ensures that everyone who follows the repo gets notified on nontrivial changes.
