[Swig-user] Question about SWIG contributors names
Vadim Zeitlin
I've been asked by a potential GSoC student on IRC about a git repository
for SWIG and I said that I didn't think there was any existing up to date
one (http://repo.or.cz/w/swig.git exists but hasn't been updated since
nearly 2 years) but that I could push out my own git mirror to e.g. github
as it could be useful to share it, instead of everybody maintaining his own
SWIG git svn mirror and so I'd like to do it.
My repository has a small problem however: it doesn't have any names for
the authors so the commits are attributed to SourceForge user names such as
"vadz" instead of "Vadim Zeitlin <email@address>" as would be more usual.
I'd like to redo a git mirror with proper attributions if possible but I
don't know names, let alone email addresses (for which us...@users.sf.net
could always be used), for many of them.
Here is the full list of committers to SWIG:
a11426
aahobor
amigalemming
arty
ashishs99
ballabio
beazley
beckford
bhy
cfis
cheetah
cherylfoil
dancy
djmitche
drjoe
efuzzyone
fukusima
gga73
grayswandir
gringostarr
harcoh
hoesterholt
iancooke
ianlancetaylor
jason_e_stewart
jasons
jcao
jezabek
joelandersson
klickverbot
kruland
lballabio
ljohnson
loic
lyle
maciekd
marcelomatus
matevz
mdupont
mgossage
mkoeppe
mmatus
mrose
mutandiz
olly
richardb
richardp
robind
samjam
shi
songyanf
sploving
szager
talby
thielema
ttn
vadz
vincentcouvert
vmiklos
wiedkla
wsfulton
wuzzeb
xavier98
yziquel
From these I know the real names only for ashishs99, beazley, olly,
robind, wsfulton and, well, vadz. I probably should be able to recover
those of the past GSoC students, i.e. jezabek, vmiklos, vincentcouvert,
sploving, maciekd, matevz, cherylfoil but I have really no idea about the
others. Could anyone please help to put the names on them?
Or do you think it's useless to have real people name in the git mirror
and that we should just use the SF user names instead?
Thanks in advance,
VZ

Forgot to mention in the last message: I have an up-to-date mirror at
https://github.com/klickverbot/swig (updated automatically a few times
an hour), but it doesn't have the real author information either.

Thanks for letting me know, I don't know how I failed to find it, I do see
it now in github search results but for some reason it wasn't on the first
page and I hadn't realized there were more matches later.
As it's already there I won't push out my own then, there is really not
much sense in doing this. If we decide to recreate the clone with the
proper committers names (this depends on how many of them do we manage to
recover, I guess), would you be willing to continue providing/updating it?
And one other question: it looks like your repository only has master
tracking svn trunk, while it could be useful to have other svn branches
too, would it be possible to create matching git branches for them?
Thanks,

The idea is that students could work with git-svn and so commit to svn but
use git for all the other operations. I'm working for years with several
projects using svn (including SWIG :-) using git exclusively and it's
really is worth it.
BTW, would it be worth discussing switching to git officially at some
later moment?

my ignorance, I'm not sure I understand what the gain is and would like
to discuss, but there is too much activity around GSoC right now, so I
would like to discuss when this has calmed down.
Commits were to cvs in 2001-2002. Last one in April 2002, see

Joel is working in branches/joelandersson-matlab and I'd hope to find
his name in the COPYRIGHT file on the branch for whenever/if it gets
merged to trunk.
You can confirm the other authors using SF, just modify the following
URL, eg for djmitche:
http://sourceforge.net/users/djmitche
clearly shows this is Dustin Mitchell and a link to send them a message
if you need to confirm anything.

Use SF user info as suggested above. If you still have any missing let
me know.
And if you do find anyone else who is not in the COPYRIGHT file, I would
definitely like to put their names in it. Please add in any missing names.
If you grep the CHANGES file for cheetah, all will be revealed ;)

User "aahobor" doesn't exist. "a11426" does but the name given is just
"derrick" which is not especially helpful. Same with "shi" mapping to
"Rene". "amigalemming" name is "Amiga Lemming" which just might not be
his/her real name. I think I've got the rest thanks to your hint (I've
stopped using SF so long ago that I totally forgot about the users pages
there, sorry), even though I'm not really sure about a couple of the names.
But as it affects less than 10 commits in total, it's probably not very
important.
WSF> And if you do find anyone else who is not in the COPYRIGHT file, I would

Only Sylvestre Ledru (grayswandir) and Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema
(hoesterholt) are missing from COPYRIGHT in the trunk but have committed to
it, all the others have probably committed to their branches only and so I
guess their names are there only. I don't have any quick way to check all
branches though, so I won't be doing it.
Similarly, all GSoC students are missing from COPYRIGHT as well but this
is probably their branches have never been merged.
WSF> If you grep the CHANGES file for cheetah, all will be revealed ;)
Ah, sorry for inadvertently blowing your cover like this.
And thanks for your help, I think I have a pretty complete authors file by
now, let me append it for reference (with obfuscated addresses), please let
me know if you have any corrections to it.
David Nadlinger, would you be interested in redoing your git-svn clone
using it (and continuing to update the github repository from it) or would
you prefer me to do it? It's not urgent, of course...
Thanks,
VZ
