Hi Christofer, Sorry I didn’t manage to catch up with you @ ApacheCon following your SCADA talk and mention of interest in Edgent. We’re greatly interested in your interest/feedback!
Re git, Edgent(Quarks) was a GitHub based project prior to donation/incubating @ ASF. The Apache Edgent ASF project was created with SVN as the main repo with an ASF git repo mirror and a read-only mirror of that to GitHub — apparently standard ASF fare at the time for those wanting to use git/github. We promote using the gitflow model of forking the GitHub mirror for committing/creating and reviewing PRs. Then committers use git to merge the PR to the ASF git repo - ugh. The proposal is to convert to the newly supported “GitHub as the main repo” approach. Then we’ll be able to fully use the normal gitflow model including the Merge button on the PR’s page! And use of GitHub Issues instead of JIRA. As I understand it, the repo switch issue is (easily?) handled by generating an infra request once the project decides to head in that direction. — Dale > On May 23, 2017, at 10:29 AM, Christofer Dutz <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi guys, > > This is the first mail I got after signing up ;-) > Fascinating project you have here … guess I will hang around quite some time > in the (hopefully) near future. > > Guess I might be able to help you with this GIT topic.
