Thank you Al for quick reply. > Well there were no current plans. However, I won't lie, I'm just lazy > when it comes to conversion to newer better code repositories :-) everyone is... now I am stuck with git (after CVS -> SVN -> GIT evolution ;)
> Is this a specific request to move to GIT? well -- it could be considered as advice (I believe that git is supported at savanna) ;-) Original the reason of my original email was -- I thought to check if there are any plans so I would not duplicate the effort. > I'm not sure if I would want > to move to GIT, I would probably prefer SVN. However, if it helps out > Debian people, it will perhaps make me move faster :-) well, imho stepping from CVS to SVN is not worth an effort of switching at this point of progress -- they are both centralized VCS, thus amount of advantages would be somewhat minuscule in comparison if you switch to some reasonable DVCS (such as git ;)). Also GIT is probably closer to some ideas of CVS than SVN is (at least this is how I felt about having branches in CVS in comparison to exposed directories in SVN). And No -- GIT is not required for Debian packaging... it is just that I now (since I like to have it in git) would have to use git-cvsimport to keep my GIT repository up-to-date to your CVS... May be at some point you would try GIT with that repository and fell in love with it -- then transition to GIT would be more natural ;) BTW, for whatever it is worth -- entire repository for freeipmi (as imported via git-cvsimport) with checkout HEAD is 37M (.git itself is only 17M, ie extracted sources take MORE than entire development history). If you want I could email it to you (I want to reimport once again to put proper names for login aliases as CVS reports -- may be you have such file handy somewhere)? -- Yaroslav O.
