Re: [iot-pmc] top-level GitHub project 
Hi All,
Just curious what the outcome of the discussion regarding TLOrg's is. Perhaps I can read about it somewhere or a short summary with requirements etc can be given? 

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Jeroen

If you want to keep content under the project's control, it needs to become project code. The first step to do that is to convince the PMC that it makes sense to do so (i.e. convince them that forking is desirable and in the best interests of the project and the Eclipse community). Then you need to engage the IP Team to get their review and approval. 

HTH,

Hi Kai,

Well we need it primarily for our own Conan recipes (build dependency
build recipes), currently six or so, and faster Travis and AppVeyor
builds. The recipes are all written by me btw, so no forking involved
there.
That being said, and this just out of curiosity and trying to understand the reasons, mcpp is very likely to become a dependency for cyclonedds, one that we must have to do code generation. mcpp is a fine project, but it's not very actively maintained. I could just write a Conan recipe and 
keep some patches on the side, or I could fork it under the ADLINK-IST
GitHub organization, but it all boils down to the same thing really.
What's wrong with keeping a dependency directly under the projects
control? Keeping some level of control over it is actually why I thought 
it would be a good idea.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
Please wait with creating an according Bugzilla ticket - while it is in general technically possible, we would like to discuss this within the 
PMC (which is together at ECE this week).
Also note that a TLOrg won't allow you to add a (2) forked sourceforge project, so this actually won't help you much (EMO, correct me, if I am 
wrong).

Cheers,
Kai

Hi Wayne,

Never mind. I saw a GitHub Organization request for a different
project, so I know what to do now. Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Jeroen

P.S.
Should anyone find this thread in search of the same information,
here's an example of a BugZilla ticket requesting a GitHub Organization 
for a project: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=539829

Hi Wayne,
I take it you mean requesting another repository under the Eclipse
organization? I can't find any bugs regarding the promotion to to a
top-level GitHub project?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeroen,
I very much doubt that this is possible. Afaik, ALL Eclipse projects
are under the eclipse github org and that's mandatory. For a definitive 
answer on this, you might want to contact EMO.
Note that it is possible to request additional repositories for your
sub projects / components, though (see e.g.
https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome-packaging-sample, which belongs to 
the SmartHome project, where the main repo is
https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome) - simply create a Bugzilla issue 
for it and the webmasters will provision it for you.

Hi All,
I've got a question regarding the possibility of making cyclonedds a
top-level GitHub project. I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask 
that question, if it isn't, please let me know the right list. If it
is, and I'm looking at the problem in the wrong way, please let me know 
too. It's just that making it a top-level project seems like the best
solution.
There's two reasons for me to want to promote it to a top-level GitHub 
project.
1. Faster Travis and AppVeyor builds. Right now builds for pull
requests take a long time and that'll only get worse when more projects 
are going to join.
2. Dependencies. We're planning on implementing a better IDL compiler
to get quicker build and drop the Java dependency. Because we're
looking to implement support for more language bindings, now seems like 
the right time to do that. Now, the IDL compiler will need a
preprocessor. We've more-or-less decided to go with mcpp
(http://mcpp.sourceforge.net/). The product itself is hosted on
SourceForge, which is a little slow and code is still hosted in svn.
The biggest problem however is that the original author isn't doing any work on the project anymore and nobody can accept patches etc. For that 
reason we want to "fork" it (svn import on GitHub) to fix some small
bugs etc. In my opinion hosting the project under a top-level
cyclonedds GitHub project is the best place. That way it's neatly
separated from the cyclonedds code while all members/privileges etc can 
be managed by the project leads and committers.
Please let me know if it's possible or if there are better ways to go
about this.
Best regards,
Jeroen Koekkoek
