Hi guys, OPS4J currently only allows source code to be hosted on the own ops4j SVN repository. The benefits of GIT can be read elsewhere, at least you probably have heard,it is not the worst thing in OSS history.
Regarding that topic, i have some questions to the community: 1. Would you think GIT to be a worthy second SCM for developers at OPS4J ? 2. Sure, there should be also a trustworthy central point, even though git a de-central. I would propose Github.com as a valid ops4j git host because of: - taking away infrastructure issues from our own servers - broaden visibility - Github for Organizations sounds just right [1] - its just a good tool (web) Of cause, this may not be without drawbacks (not 100% about for example community integrity). Also git does not have the adoption svn has, yet. 3. How could that work ? Well, existing projects can be imported with full history. The svn repo should then be removed, a README file pointing to the new repo should replace it. Documentation,Mailinglist,Issues,CI build, Releases using oss.sonatype.orgall that will stay the same. In order to test what i ask for, there is already a github organization account "OPS4J" with some pax projects imported. [2] Tell me what you guys think!
