Moved to git: xdg-user-dirs, default-icon-theme, xdgmime, shared-mime-info

[Alexander Larsson]

The following are the new git repos for these:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/default-icon-theme/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-user-dirs/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdgmime/

The cvs repos are still availible as before, but I made them all not
build, instead printing a reference to the new git repository.

That would be because you're trying to fetch a git tree from the cgit
web interface...

while the other three are pure software repositories, but this one contains a
specification. it would be great if it could join other specifications that
are alive and in use in one git repo that:

* is more freely accessible to all
* can be found next to all the other specs
* can provide metadata as to who is using it and since when

would it be alright with you (and those working on the icon specs) if i added
them to http://gitorious.org/xdg-specs/ which would then be where future work
on them takes place? i'm quite happy to do the work of adding it to that repo,
documenting which projects are using it since when, etc., but i don't want to
create a dead fork either. whomever needs commit access to the specs can have
it as well ...

Why would we want the master git repo to be hosted on gitorious? fd.o
already provides the ability to host git repos...

Is there any useful documentation on who is responsible for the
repository administration and granting commit permissions? Requesting
commit access via bugzilla is a fairly bad substitute for the repo
management functionality gitorious provides.

I totally agree, all of these specs should be hosted on fd.o, but this
was discussed over and over again and none of the administrative people
ever commented on any of the requests to improve things and make the
fd.o spec "approval" and maintenance process more transparent. That's
why some of them ended up on gitorious (temporarily).

exactly; i'd be MORE than happy to see the repo on fd.o. the only reason it
isn't is that getting an account with fd.o so you can put your clones up where
we can all get to them in one place is far too hard. having things like merge
requests is a wonderful bonus as well, but not a deal breaker. having a high
barrier to entry is, however.

that said, we can in the meantime we can improve the spec process which means
better meta-documentation for them, keeping them centralized, etc. that's far
more important than where they are for the moment.

You can put your clones wherever you want, on gitorious, github, or your
KDE public_html folder. But the master repo for the specs absolutely has
to be on fd.o.

Where they are is important because Vincent just added git support to
the update.py script that keeps the specs up-to-date on the website. The
specs are checked out from git.fd.o.
