Re: [tracecompass-dev] "Official" Tracecompass github?
|
Ok so, I asked the EMO, but they've told me that Eclipse mirrors on
Github are no longer supported and that they will eventually be removing
the ones currently there. So scratch that option.
This made me realize, since we are not controlling the remotes neither
at Eclipse or Github, we would have to setup a server somewhere with a
cron job that pulls from Eclipse and then pushes at Github, and other
potential mirror locations. This is not exactly hard to do, but we would
need to find a host or individual willing to host and maintain this.

I didn't know about that one, it is the right way to do things, let's go
for it!

Hi Matthew,
How about https://github.com/eclipse ? ;)
Any project can ask to get mirrored on Eclipse's Github. We would just
have to ping our EMO.
However, if we don't intend on accepting external contributions
through Github, I am not sure it would be really useful. You mention
you have 7-8 forks of the project, are you really sharing patches with
7-8 different people?
If it's only to pull paches, you could use one unique repo and setup
several remotes locally.
On the other hand, if you do want to share patches with other people
(and not send to to the "official" repo, at least not right away),
then from what I understand of how Github works, you would *still*
have to handle 7-8 forks on your own Github.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,
If you look at my github, you will see 7-8 forks of trace compass. The
reason is, we are not using github properly IMO.
We need a curated tracecompass main repo on github, and for people to
fork from that one. I'm not sure about the IP implications of doing
this, does anyone know if we're allowed to do that? We cannot I think,
use ericsson's official github. I am still trying to find who is in
charge of it, maybe Efficios's github could be the official tracecompass
branch? If we get a company name behind it, I think the workflow will
clean up like this.
Thoughts?
Matthew.
