Hi, I'm getting badgered by people to switch the source hosting of publican from svn to git. Is this possible to do? Is it difficult or painful for you to do? Just trying to get an understanding of what's involved ATM.
Cheers, Jeff.
Just creating a new git repo for you to populate is very very easy.
Importing all the commits/history from the svn repo to the git repo is possible, but slightly more work.
It should be easy to keep the svn repo around for history as well.
Just let us know what you would like to do and we can make it happen. ;)
Excellent! Please import the commit history in to a new GIT repo and make the SVN repo read only. I've warned the team it's coming so it should all be good!
Thanks, Jeff.
Sorry for the delay here. Turns out it takes a long time to convert... and I ran it with the wrong options the first time and had to redo it. ;(
Anyhow, can you look at:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=publican.git
and see if it's looking how you would expect it to look? If so, we can mark svn read-only and change the trac repo to point to git too. If not, I can adjust it and reconvert. ;)
Hi Kevin, this seems to be working fine :) Can we lock down SVn and change the project description in .git/description to:
A single-source publishing tool based on DocBook XML
Thanks for the quick turn around!
Jeff.
Done. ;)
Please let us know if you need anything further.
