Git migration plan (scheduled for Tuesday 1 PM PST)

[Bharat Mediratta]

In the other thread we've been discussing the pros/cons of migrating to
Git.  It sounds like we're mostly in agreement that this is the right
direction to move in.  I have spent the day learning about Git and have
figured out how to set up the gallery3 and gallery3-vendor trees.  The
next steps are to make the transition, and deal with the fallout.

I plan to do most of the heavy lifting myself.  I've written up a plan
below.  I would like to do this SOON so I will plan on using the time
during our Tuesday meeting to do the cutover.

Here's what I plan to do:

1) import gallery3/trunk and gallery3/vendor into github.  For author
mappings I'll be using the email addresses that you use for this mailing
list.  Please sign up on github ASAP using those email addresses and
Github should reconcile you properly.

2) I will "svn rm" everything in our gallery3/trunk directory and
replace it with a file titled "GALLERY3_HAS_MOVED_TO_GIT" explaining
that we're moving to git and providing instructions on getting the
latest code.

3) I'll update this wiki page to indicate that we're moving to Git:
   http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery:Using_Subversion

4) I'll update the quick start page with the download link from GitHub:
   http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Quick_Start

5) I'll create a wiki page with a primer on using Git for Gallery 3.
   http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery:Using_Git

What else?  Is this worthy of a news story?  Maybe.  Does anybody want
to write one?

That's radical, and I think we can do it. If Gallery 3 wasn't at this early stage, we couldn't do it. Too many SVN users who svn up their prod site would be *%&* off.

But with G3 in alpha stage, I think we can do that.

3) I'll update this wiki page to indicate that we're moving to Git:
  http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery:Using_Subversion

4) I'll update the quick start page with the download link from GitHub:
  http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Quick_Start

What else?  Is this worthy of a news story?  Maybe.  Does anybody want

The release checklist will have to be updated. It's somewhat SVN heavy right now (export, tagging).

Also, we have docs for vendor branch updates, integrations from vendor branches.

I'll start playing with git today as well.

Yup, no better time than now for this.

I have already made up (and temporarily committed) instructions for
dealing with the kohana package in the vendor branch.  This will serve
as a pattern for the vendor branch.

I've created the gallery3-packaging repo and it will be easy for us to
update the instructions there when we release beta 1.

Let me know your username and I'll add you as a collaborator on the
varions repos.

I'm just a "johnny come lately" to this whole discussion, but please don't forget the g3-contrib directory (at least the developer module)

Thanks

Oops, I had forgotten about that.  I've set up a test repo for that here:

Are you going to be able to give module developers permission to push
updates to their own modules in this repo, without having to worry about
whether you trust them with permission to push to the main code tree?

Right now we don't do much with gallery3-contrib in subversion on
sourceforge.  Ie, we don't point users at it, we don't pull from it in
any way (like we do with Gallery 2 for downloadable plugins).  So
basically it's just a holding area for interesting code that we don't
want to make part of the official package.

I don't have a clear plan for what we do with this going forward.  It
would be pretty easy to just add everybody as collaborators there and
make it a free-for-all.  Or perhaps we tie it in with Romain's idea for
a "Gallery Forge" type site?  I don't know.. ideas welcome.

HEADS UP.

The git migration is starting right now.  I'm beginning by blowing away
all the old repos, so if you've cloned them you'll need to start over
(but you knew that).  Join #gallery if you want to participate.

Migration is underway. I've moved the gallery3-contrib and
gallery3-packaging repos over to http://github.com/gallery
and the other two are underway.

Please don't commit to svn for the time being.  Thanks!

FYI, the migration is complete.  I've migrated:

gallery3/trunk --> http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/tree
gallery3/vendor --> http://github.com/gallery/gallery3-vendor/tree
gallery3/packaging --> http://github.com/gallery/gallery3-packaging/tree
gallery-contrib --> http://github.com/gallery/gallery3-contrib/tree

bharat, andyst, ckdake, ckieffer and talmdal are collaborators on all of
those repos currently.  This means that those 5 people can commit
directly.  If you had commit privs before and want them now, please get
an account on github and email me.

I've updated the following wiki pages:
   http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Quick_Start
   http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery:Using_Subversion
   http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery:Using_Git

Remaining to do:
1) Configure github to notify our irc channel on commits
2) Update gallery-bot to provide urls to changes
3) Configure github to email gallery-checkins on commits
4) ???  I'm sure there're more things to do.

I'm going to write a news story about the migration, then declare victory.
