Re: [mylyn-docs-dev] Migration to Github?
Hey everyone,
Here is the current proposal plan from EF for shutdown of Gerrit and Bugzilla https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/wikis/Gerrit/Gerrit-and-Bugzilla-deprecation-and-migration-plan . Aka if we don't move, we will be force moved in a year or so. IMHO, it's better to be proactive and not wait. Github is better option as:
* many devs already have github accounts so no need to learn new tool as much as GitLab is similar, even having one less account is worth it
* dependabot and other GH bots and actions

If there is agreement, I can drive the move.

Interesting development. I can’t say I was very fond of the Github reviews feature last time I used it, but that was admittedly a few years ago and hopefully it has improved.

It's worth noting that dependabot helps us stay on top of our dependencies updates in tycho - see https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/search?q=dependabot&type=commits after the commits enabling it, it handled good number of updates.  Combined with licensecheck maven plugin (https://github.com/eclipse/dash-licenses/) IPzilla/CQ/ClearlyDefined approval is smth that can be verified at every build. 
--- license-tool-plugin:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:license-check (default-cli) @ parent ---
[INFO] Querying Eclipse Foundation for license data for 166 items.
[INFO] Found 166 items.
[INFO] Vetted license information was found for all content. No further investigation is required.
[INFO] Summary file was written to: /home/jenkins/agent/workspace/lsp4e-github_master/target/dash/summary

From https://ci.eclipse.org/lsp4e/job/lsp4e-github/job/master/18/console .

Having these updates handled for us is smth totally impossible on gerrit infrastructure now but saves so much time.
 

Aleksandar, how much friction was there in the migration process for the other projects you were on? Migrating the git repo will obviously require updating our builds. One of our release builds does some git repo tagging (I think through mvn-release plugin) that required some assistance from the Eclipse CI/Jenkins team to initially help set up, and then again to migrate to the JIPP infrastructure. I think a ci-bot specific to the project needed to be set up with write access to the repo. Do you know if this is still supported on Github? As long as we can port our builds quickly, I don’t have issues moving to Github.

Migration was pretty straightforward e.g. for lsp4e it literally costed a day to do minor changes to jenkins. Foundation provides a bot to do tagging too as per https://wiki.eclipse.org/CBI#GitHub_and_Bot_Accounts so I assume that should be pretty straightforward but haven't used it yet.
 

I’m also curious about how Github hosted contributions tie into the ECA? Will contributors need to have both an Eclipse.org account, and a Github account that’s linked to the Eclipse account? I find that Eclipse.org registration seems to be a point of friction for some of our newer contributors at Tasktop, but I imagine that step still a requirement even when the contribution is coming from Github.

ECA is still validated and users has to sign it with same email as their github account. E.g. shows ECA verification for one specific PR https://accounts.eclipse.org/legal/eca/validation/85619
 

Thanks,
Leo

Hi all,

I assume you mean Mylyn Docs and not LSP4E, but yes. This change will affect Mylyn Docs too. I think GitHub is a good choice.

Oops. Yes, I mean Mylyn Docs. And as I mentioned LSP4E the move to github already attracted new contributor - https://github.com/eclipse/lsp4e/commits/master .
