Hi guys, at our wonderful OsmoDevCon 2016 we have decided to give a Gerrit based workflow a try. Right now the components are set-up and we need to figure out where to start, how to integrate and then also how to migrate.
URL: https://gerrit.osmocom.org will host our installation of Gerrit. Authentication: It is using the OpenID authentication scheme to register to it. I have found and massaged a redmine plugin to turn our redmine into an OpenID provider[1]. Set-up/ACLs: There is a complex set of rules for ACLs. In terms of user branches it will be the easiest if they are located at "user/*" instead of our current "*" scheme. For a transition period we can continue to allow to push directly into gerrit as well. Registering: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/login, sign-in with your OpenID provider. And then set a username (this will be used for the git log-in). Register additional email addresses and install your ssh key. Projects: I have currently created "osmo-ci" for some CI scripts and Dockerfiles and started to play with it, e.g. using git to manage notifications of this project. Jenkins: http://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins/job/osmo-pcpap-gerrit/16/ is an example of a build triggered (and failed and reported as failure) to the Gerrit installation. Tricks: $ git ls-remote gerrit ... 5f3b6b8472a319d8d1184266cf9f80b5dbb709b6 refs/changes/23/23/1 '23' the 'hashed' structure '23' the actual change #23 '1' the first patch so one can use git fetch to fetch the patchset and browse $ ssh -p 29418 [email protected] gerrit --help Next: We need to pick some projects to start with. I would propose to start with libosmocore and OpenBSC or one of the two. Approach: Regardless of what we start with the approach would be: * Create project on Gerrit * Make current code available to gerrit * Set-up jenkins integration * Remove all but gerrit's push right for this specific repository * Set-up replication What is missing: * Which projects to migrate when * Gerrit / Jenkins integration * Gerrit => git.osmocom.org replication (and github?) * Additional build jobs (with docker). Decision if we * Group set-up if we want fine-grained review per project. I think we can start without. * Create wiki page/documentation sorry, the mail is a bit too long. holger [1] Don't trust it as your general ID provider, but you might prefer using it for gerrit instead of yahoo or canonical. The URL is https://osmocom.org/openid. The heavy lifting is done by a ruby library (which has some DH code.. but I didn't see a configure knob to change the prime.. so probably everyone is using https://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#pvalue?
