Re: [ptp-dev] transition to git

[Chris Recoskie <recoskie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We often commit changes that affect both PTP core and RDT, so I want those to stay in the same repository personally.

Hi,

Yes, we are still interested to help with that. 

We need to finalize the decision on how we want to split the repository. The current suggestions are:
- Photran could be separate
- Docs should be separate
- everything else could be either one repository or 3 repos: RDT, {remote,services}.*, everything else
- PLDT could be with everything else or with Photran

The discussion is at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349695

The main advantage of splitting the repository into smaller repos is size (storage and download) and the main advantage of joined repository is that commits affecting more than one subsystem have the logical connection represented in GIT. So subsystems which are not truly independent and thus regularly changed in one commit should be in one repository.

We recommend to split the repository as little as reasonable, i.e. not split PTP into 3 repos (RDT, {remote,services}.*, everything else). Regarding Photran, Docs and PLDT we don't know. 

As soon as this is decided I'm happy to create another test repository. This can than be used to test setting up the workspace and we will see whether something is missing.

We have collected resources for documentation at:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/environment_setup/git
Do people require additional documentation?

Anything else which can be done at the moment?

Roland

Now that everything is pretty much out of the way, we need to complete the transition from CVS to git.

I recall from one of our developer meetings that there were volunteers to help out with this. Is that still the case?

Thanks,
Greg
