Hello everyone,
as many people seem to prefer using git over svn, we have decided to convert
the master repository of osm2pgsql and mod_tile over to git.
That's fantastic news!
Previously anyone who had an osm-svn account had commit access to the
repositories and could submit patches directly to the master repository, and
indeed people did take advantage of this (were forced to take advantage of
this). After the move to git, this will no longer be the case. For the
moment it is pretty limited who has push rights to the repository (Jon and
myself for mod_tile, and Sahra, Brian and myself for osm2pgsql), but that is
something that can be discussed and changed. Personally I am in favour of a
fairly open policy and would be happy to see others have push rights as
well.
This is great too!
With that change I guess the bug tracking will also likely mainly move over
to the github issue trackers, although track tickets on
trac.openstreetmap.org now also get forwarded to the tile-serving mailing
list. Therefore they should be noticed and dealt with as well, if you prefer
to use trac.
I hope to see the issues moving over to github, in order to remove any
barriers to discovery for people working on the code. I find finding
osm2pgsql-related tickets on trac a lot harder than finding osm2pgsql
issues on github, to the point that in all the projects I work on, I
very rarely bother trying to find tickets on trac.
Moving over to using mostly githubs issue tracker is fine by me. But to
ensure that the trac tickets get seen by people working on the code,
they now get forwarded to the tile-serving list. So hopefully that issue
with trac is less of one now.
As the new repositories live in the same location as previously the svn
mirrors you will need to re-check out those repositories, as the history has
been re-written to be a cleaner SVN conversion than the mirrors previously
were. I hope that doesn't cause any trouble or inconvenience for people who
have local forks of the previous mirror.
That's a small price to pay :-)
Any comments or suggestions on the development process of these two projects
are welcome,
For now, just my thanks for undertaking the work - it's really
massively appreciated.
All of the conversion work and setting up was done by TomH, so he is the
one to thank for it.
Kai
P.S. I sent the announcement to the three lists osm-dev, geocoding and
tile-serving, as all seemed effected by this transition. But the
following discussion should probably be limited to one of the lists?
Cheers,
Andy
