Bug status: ENH 115 ?

[james.harig]

Hello, was wondering if bug ENH 115, http://www.avaje.org/bugdetail-115.html is in the queue.  Seems like a good feature to have.

Thanks,

James

Yes it is in the queue. However, over the next 6 months there is not going to be much development/enhancements done - I will not have much 'spare time' over the next 6 months.

So unless someone else picks up some of the enhancements etc ...

Is the source on github?

[Tony Pelton]

any thoughts about getting the source for the project off sourceforge ?

github or bitbucket ?

i think the tools available with those hosting services would make contributing simpler.

[Rob Bygrave]

No, it is currently on source forge.

We are aiming to move to github. I need to get comfortable with that first though.

[Durchholz, Joachim]

From practical experience, I can confirm that github works well and goes to great lengths with docs and examples.

They are doing some strange (but reasonable) things, so getting comfortable with it before moving is definitely a good idea.

 

One example of strange things they do: If you want to have the project's webpage on github, you need to make it a branch of the project - a branch that you never merge with any project code branch. Essentially, they are abusing the branch mechanism of git to create a separate namespace.

This works well in practice, but you have to be aware of that.

 

Also, ignore the stuff about the API token, that interface is being deprecated and replaced with a role-based public-key authentication scheme. (Relevant only if you do advanced stuff with scripts.)

 

I bet there's more, but that's about my level of relative incompetence on github :-)
