Subject: Test Git repository for INN
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain
Hi folks,
It took me a lot longer than I had originally intended, but I have finally
done a test conversion of the INN repository to Git. It is available on
GitHub at:
https://github.com/InterNetNews/inn
It will also be mirrored read-only on git.eyrie.org once it's finalized so
that we're not dependent on a single hosting site.
Please take a look and let me know if you see any errors or problems.
I've dropped the old innfeed-0.10.1 tag because I didn't think it was
serving any useful purpose. Note that this repository was originally CVS
and then was converted to Subversion and then to Git, so there are a few
unavoidable oddities like empty or synthetic commits in the older commits
and branches.
I haven't done any of the content cleanup that we'll probably want to do,
so this should be a straight conversion of the current Subversion
repository. Once we finalize the conversion, we can do things like add
.gitignore, drop $Id$ strings (Git doesn't support them), and so forth.
I haven't converted the Trac issues yet since that's a bit more of a
one-shot deal. I'll do that once we're happy with the Git conversion.
To recap the previous conversation, the plan is to change the canonical
development repository to Git and to move the Trac issues to GitHub
issues, and then retire my Trac installation and Subversion hosting, which
reduces some of my load and also reduces INN's bus factor. PRs will then
be welcome, but of course people can continue to send issues and patches
here.
GitHub was chosen because it's (a) free (as in price), (b) widely
understood and used already, and (c) easy for me to set up. I know some
folks have reservations about GitHub because it's not free software, and I
understand, but I don't think we're committing heavily to their platform
(everyone who has a clone of the Git repository has all the important data
and can move it elsewhere), and other things like GitLab are only open
core anyway. Hosting everything on 100% free software (depending on the
choice of free software) loses us some useful features (I plan to set up
GitHub Actions for CI) and requires more resources that I don't really
have to spend on it. That said, everyone is certainly welcome to mirror
the Git repository elsewhere if they want.

Snapshots are still generated from Subversion right now. The Git
repository is available via git clone or through a few other download
methods built into GitHub. Once we've finalized the conversion I'll
switch snapshot generation over to using Git. (The file names of the
snapshots will probably change to make it easier to not generate a new
snapshot if nothing has changed.)

That?s a lot of hard work, time and effort you have spent on things Russ. Thank
you :-)
I support the move and your reasoning.
Best, Paul.

A date snapshot is helpful.
In the 27 years since using Inn.
On a daily snapshot, we found and
error and was able to correcct it the next day.

I can find no obvious problems. SSH access works fine.
Apparently, I've been in CONTRIBUTORS ever since 2011
(b9789771b5e7a1cef3228e7a9f3dfad41dc13efa).
