Hi Troy, Greg!

Any progress on this initiative? :)

Best regards,
Tobias

I don't want this to turn into a debate.

I agree, we need to move source control to git.

I even mostly agree we should do most of our dev work on github for the visibility to draw other developers.

To move forward with this:

1) I would actually need access to the github 'crosswire' organization, which I currently don't have.

2) I am happy to migrate our 27 repos there (yes, I was also surprised we have 27, but even these old ones would be nice to have on github for posterity). 3) After #2, I would love for Github experts to help me find a solution that effectively grant elevated access to individuals for merging PRs into our master repository without my approval FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF THE REPO they own or are trusted to approve.

This #3 item had been the primary element holding us back from moving from SVN to git.  If you are unaware, SVN has a very easy way to elevate permissions for accounts for parts of the repository.  I don't want to have to approve all changes!  I trust our pumpkin holders to care for their parts of the repository.

We've discussed, in the past, submodules for handle this, but they do not handle this well.  e.g., I want to grant Greg Hellings full write access to merge any PR which updates any of our cmake scripts in all folders everywhere.  I don't know anything about cmake and Greg is an expert.  I want him to be able to manage that build system without my oversight.  I trust him.  I do not want to grant Greg merge access for code that has anything to do with our C++ engine.  He might be a great C++ programmer, but he hasn't expressed he wants that access or ever submitted C++ code for me to review and merge myself, so I want to protect Greg from accidentally merging in someone's PR which includes C++ engine code.

In SVN this is easy.  Attached is our SVN access file.  Help me translate this workflow to Github.  There must be some way to restrict merges based on the merging user and files modified in the PR.  Or at least require a review by certain users bases on the files modified in the PR.

Help me :)

Troy

Indeed. It's not a principled stand that I'm refusing to get Subversion going. It's simply that it's too much work that I haven't bothered and don't foresee doing so anytime soon.

And, with no setup to automatically test the scripts in all the environments they must support, it's not likely others are willing to commit this on my behalf.

    I think you misunderstood Greg.

    There is a long campaign and strong feeling to have the project
    on Git but there is no agreement or movement to that. And it
    seems Greg is pausing his contributions until that matter is
    resolved.

    I am sorry, but I did not get the point of your reply.
    I do not use subversion - I use git-svn as proposed several
    months ago on this forum. But current cmake configuration
    expects everybody to use subversion, which is wrong.
    These patches improve cmake build:

      *  that will work also with git-svn
      * MSVC build
      * fix depreciated

    AFAIK it should cause no harm for other combinations, just
    improve current state.

        I've never bothered to get Subversion setup on my local
        machine. Remembering the setup, plus my credentials, and how
        to use it is more labor than I've been willing to spend on
        this effort. If, in the future, I overcome that inertia then
        I'll happily test and apply this patch.

                Thanks. I am not privy to the patches email inbox,

                    How to suggest improvements to the sword project?


                    You did it the right way. It just is a bit
                    on/off as a project. GHellings is the cmake
                    pumpkin holder as far as I know. I bcc him on a
                    different email address.

                    To: <patc...@crosswire.org>


                    Hello,

                    please find 3 few patches related to cmake
                    build (tested on windows with MSVC 2019):

                     1. cmake_fix_deprecation.patch - cmake version
                        3.23.2 produce depreciation warning for old
                        minimum version, co IMO it is time to
                        increase expected cmake version
                     2. cmake_fix_msvc.patch - there is no "/O3"
                        options in current MSVC[1]
                     3. cmake_git_svn.patch - I use git svn for
                        accessing code, but cmake produce error
                        because of missing svn executable. He is
                        patch that fixed it + code for detecting
                        svn revision (MYSVN_WC_REVISION) from git
