Hi all,
Just wanted to give a status update on the Git migration. We're almost done!
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx
*tl:dr -- stop committing to Launchpad. Make a GitHub account and fork the
Mixxx repo. Push changes and personal branches to your forks and make pull
requests to get them merged into the master Mixxx branch.*
We've been using GitHub to discuss a few recent branch merges and the
result has been outstanding. It is much easier to discuss and review branch
merge proposals. The number of comments the recent merges have received has
far outpaced the comments merge proposals on Launchpad received.
* Build system / Build server
The build system and build server now produces packages using Git.
* Website
Some references to Bazaar need to be updated.
* Wiki
I've updated various pages on the wiki to remove non-historical references
to Bazaar from the wiki. The compilation instructions (though not tested)
are updated and we have a new Using Git article:
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/using_git
* Branch migration, author rewrites
Owen has whipped up a quite fancy branch migration system that
automatically does the author rewriting we discussed previously.
Unfortunately, due to author rewriting you cannot convert your branch
yourself using git-bzr-ng or a similar tool!
We are going to copy every branch on http://code.launchpad.net/mixxx to
GitHub but we are still figuring out where they should go. I think they
will clutter up the mixxxdj/mixxx branch list so we may create a
mixxxcommunity/mixxx repo to put them all in. You will have to clone that
repo to get your branch. We'll announce details once Owen decides how to do
it.
Please clone the Mixxx GitHub repo and give it a try. If you have never
used Git before, there are tons of great resources for learning out there.
I've linked some of them at the bottom of
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/using_git
Please stop committing to Bazaar and push all of your latest changes to
Bazaar branches you would like converted. Contact either Owen or I if you
have any problems.
Also, please help me in updating out of date or wrong information about Bzr
/ Git on the wiki. If you find the compilation instructions are not
working, please update them.
This would not have happened if Owen hadn't stepped up to take charge of
the migration. Thanks Owen!
Best regards,
RJ
