Migration to git and github

[Clement Pernet]

To all LinBox developers,

We have to think of replacement for the linalg.org server, hosting not only linbox svn & trac but
also fflas-ffpack svn & trac.

As a starter, we (the fflas-ffpack developers) decided to move fflas-ffpack from svn to git and opt
for hosting it on github.

Since fflas-ffack shares the same ecosystem as LinBox and Givaro, we'd like to suggest that LinBox
makes a similar move.

Jean-Guillaume (in lead dev of Givaro) is already willing to make this move for Givaro.

In case we decided to go for it, we would create a github organization hosting the 3 repositories.
The role of an organization is to have repos attached to a community and not a single individual. See
https://github.com/blog/674-introducing-organizations

Then we would need a name for this org.
I suggest we call it linbox or linbox-group, or something like that, as linbox is probably the most
visible name in this ecosystem.

So the two main questions here are

1. is it ok to move linbox to git ?
2. is it ok to host a mirror on github?
3. decide on a name for the common organization hosting linbox fflas-ffpack and givaro. Proposition:
linbox or linbox-group

Cheers

How about linbox-suite or linbox-plus?

Some acronyms for fun:
LAST = Linear Algebra Suite Tools
ECLAT = Exact Computational Linear Algebra Team

I like Éclat a lot.   Unfortunately there is already a github project of that name.

I like Dave's suggestion: linbox-suite.

Do you want to move website hosting as well?  (givaro, fflaspack, linbox)

UDel support (i.e. Bryan) wants to know whether or not to pursue an upgrade to the linalg.org host at UD.

hum, as you want. I would like to keep the "linalg.org" name in any case.
Otherwise, I like the hosting at udel ...

I just want to make a few side notes.  We can move the repo without losing the SVN history by cloning the repo with git-svn, then adding the github repo as a new remote, and finally pushing to that repo.

Also, we should expand the README's of each project, as github will generate the content under the project browser from the README file using markdown.

Also may be a good time to review some git best practices.

Thanks,

Gavin

OK.  Let's keep the hosting where it is for a while, at least.

For future reference, we can use our domain name with github.  

Github has some restrictions (static pages only) not likely to be bothersome, but restrictions nonetheless.

Migration to github has been decided.
We plan to do it for givaro/fflas-ffpack and LinBox, this Wednesday,
July 1st, 2015.
Any objections ?
Best,

[Jean-Guillaume Dumas]

Dear all,
there is a growing agenda in
http://linalg.org/projects/linalg/wiki/grenobox,
if you want to contribute ?
We can also skype for instance at some given time if needed ...
Yours,
