I'm not really sure how the mirroring works, but all of our work is done on github and mirrored over to HG. I can tell that most of those branches on HG look to be old feature branches, that are no longer needed. So perhaps we're missing the part where we prune removed branches in github?
Best, Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Custer" <[email protected]> To: "list dev-b2g" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 9, 2014 1:46:09 PM Subject: [b2g] The Gaia repos and their suitability for FxOS Hey all, There are two Gaia repos that I have run into so far: one on mozilla and one on github. The one on github seems relatively clean. The one on mozilla, tagged 'release', is a mess. The latter is used by FirefoxOS., at least in the hamachi manifest used by the Alcatel OneTouch fire. Are these two repos split into 'production' and 'development'? Why is Firefox OS (at least in its hamachi manifest) using the mozilla.org repository? Do these repositories have maintainers? If so, why are there branches on the mozilla.org Gaia repo with crazed names that have not been touched since August and April? Gaia on GitHub ============== This seems relatively clean: galet:gaia acuster$ git remote show origin * remote origin Fetch URL: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git Push URL: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git HEAD branch: master Remote branches: bug-952611 tracked master tracked ord tracked rocketbar-places tracked v1-train tracked v1.0.0 tracked v1.0.1 tracked v1.1.0hd tracked v1.2 tracked v1.2f tracked v1.3 tracked ...snip... Small number of branches, bug*, ord and rock* with relatively recent commits. Fine. Gaia on Mozilla (used by Firefox OS, hamachi build) =============== The GitHub repo used for Firefox OS, despite having 'release' in its name, seems to be the hacking repository. It's branches are a fant*&*!@ mess: git remote show mozillaorg * remote mozillaorg Fetch URL: https://git.mozilla.org/releases/gaia.git Push URL: https://git.mozilla.org/releases/gaia.git HEAD branch: master Remote branches: 816135 ... bug-845097-reverting ... bug-918303 ... bug-952611 ... bug914179 ... camera-fix ... design-update ... e.me ... fix-homescreen-dock-tests ... fix-imap-literal-landing ... fxa_mo ... fxa_module ... master ... nightly ... offline ... ord ... rocketbar ... rocketbar-places ... rocketbar2 ... s3-uploads ... shira ... task-switcher ... upstream/master ... v1-train ... v1.0.0 ... v1.0.1 ... v1.1.0hd ... v1.2 ... v1.2f ... v1.3 ... v1_train/bluetooth/Bug905944_confirm_receivi.................WTF? v1_train/clock/Bug842750_Default_alarm_name_not_localized ...WTF? ...snip... So this does not seem like a 'release' repository (despite what the name says). It also does not seem to have anyone doing basic maintenance dropping abandoned branches with crazed names. Some explanation for this state of affairs would be appreciated. cheers, ~adrian _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
