Random idea, and not sure where to put it... ;) With the GlusterFS project, we do our patch reviewing and stuff using a system called Gerrit. (not that impressed with it tbh)
A large problem is that Gerrit needs to control the source code repo itself. This has stopped us from having our primary source code repo on GitHub - where the largest Open Source dev Community is. Note - We do have a mirror repo there... but Pull Requests aren't accepted through it, and it's more of a "tick the box" kind of presence than driving growth. ... but now we've discovered "GerritHub". This is a system that uses GitHub for the backend repo storage, but with a Gerrit front end. People can submit patches through either GitHub OR the Gerrit front end, and they go into Gerrit properly. It uses a Gerrit-GitHub plugin for part of this integration. The thought occurred that some Fossil users probably have a similar problem (but with Fossil, not Gerrit). If so, it might be nifty idea for someone (not me ;>), to create a Fossil-GitHub plugin, which actively keeps patch sets in sync between the two systems too. This would let people have their repos on GitHub - a source of much potential growth - but use Fossil too. Crap idea or not? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift _______________________________________________ fossil-dev mailing list fossil-dev@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-dev
