We've moved about 20 modules already, including some of the most heavily hacked on modules (vala, seed, gnome-shell). The plan is to move the rest at once to avoid a lot of "what's where" confusion, though there has been some discussion about whether GNOME release modules can request to move earlier if they have special development needs. > Also, has anybody done much experimentation with using git and its > various GUI tools in Windows or Mac?

I'm not sure I have the best advice, since I'm not really a native user of either :-). On Windows: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ Provides a quite solid port of the Unix experience to Windows. You can open a terminal window with a bash command line and work pretty much exactly like you would on Linux. You do have to know the cygwin path conventions 'cd /c/myprog'...) It should also be possible to use the git tools from cmd.exe as well, though then people might have more trouble following docs written for Unix. The proper setup to work with putty is something that needs documentation; I had some trouble there, and gave up and used openssh as shipped with msysgit (you know ~/.ssh/id_rsa, etc) instead, but putty is more natural for Windows users. On the Mac, http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/ Works. It should be possible to install Git via MacPorts as well. - Owen _______________________________________________ gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
