Re: What about GitHub

[Filippo Valsorda]

Ok, I realized just now that BerilOS made it and is still running, so the main repo is there, as always. If other developers stay missing until you finalize your plugin, I am also able to commit it.
That means, though, that launchpad building is broken. Who is able to do something for that?

So, I will drop my GitHub export and convert it into a slow-paced proposal to the lead developers to move to GitHub.

Oggetto: Re: What about GitHub

Hi, some progress on a repository address etc would be great.   I'm all for github although if the devel-mailing lists are on googlecode, then perhaps that might be an option?

Personally, I have no experience and defer to your better judgement.  I would really like to add my plugins though.

 

Bogdan, I'll send you the code as soon as I got it.  I used glade and a dialog to get the file path, and I scrapped up my code quickly (while I learnt) so I have yet to put proper exception handling in it.

 

Cheers

Hi,
I wrote some code for griffith some time ago and so I know the code a
bit and I have quite a good experience in python and this type of
hacking/scraping. I was thinking of looking at the latest code offers
and finding a way to merge them when I realized that from when
berilios closed
a) I can't find the upstream repo anymore
b) I probably lost my commit auth
c) I can't understand where the official development takes place

So, here is my proposal: let's move to GitHub. Some good reasons:
a) It has GREAT fork/pull model, issues system and code discussion
method (for example it would be really easier to handle that
filesystem plugin issue on GitHub, trust me)
b) It has a wide community, I actually contibuted a lot to some
projects found just exploring GitHub
c) You can use git (an awesome tool, you should) but also svn and hg
if you know them better

So, who has the updated tree? And who should approve this move (if
there is consensus and no reply from the lead we can also go by
ourselves)?

I already converted the SVN repo into git (with full history) some time
ago. If there's a decent Git client for Windows now, I can push the
branch into gitorious or github and we can finally drop SVN (and
BerliOS)

Great to hear that you want to make the jump!

I am not a Win user so I cannot suggest anything else than checking out Tortoise-Git. Instead, you should consider that GitHub has complete SVN read/write access for you or for other developers that don't crush git. That plus the list of great features I listed before on this thread.

I used TortoiseSVN for the griffith subversion repository and
tried TortoiseGit for another project.
Works very well. A windows client should be no show stopper anymore.
