Hi all, * I have created a maintenance branch - https://code.launchpad.net/~andymc73/maria/oqgraph-maintenance - which I will regularly merge to from the MariaDB trunk, to test that the code continues to build and pass the test suite.
* I have created a mirror of the engine code directory, with full history, on Github - https://github.com/andymc73/oqgraph. This is actually possible because when Maria merged us into 10.0.7 they moved the MTR tests into storage/oqgraph/mysql-test. The contortions I went through to achieve this losslessly will shortly be described on my blog... * I intend to keep the Launcpad branch synchronised with Github. This will ensure we are in a position to merge interesting changes back to Maria trunk as needed. I dont intend to do this continuously but after bug fixes, new features, etc. So my intention is that github will become the "bleeding edge" of development. I have added instructions on how to build the bleeding edge of Oqgraph against the release >= 10.0.7 MariaDB. I also added a tag corresponding to the version of code currently existing in lp:maria. This will save my head exploding with frustration over the performance of bazaar+launchpad for day to day work. It also has multiple benefits: * the Bazaar repository and the git equivalent of the full MariaDB tree approaches 6GBytes(!) - the .git directory of oqgraph now is < 2 MBytes * due to the above, I can now do some hacking if I have a spare hour, on some random virtual machine / laptop without much delay, provided I keep a copy of MariaDB 10.0.7 zip somewhere. * it will help us do backports or sideways ports if the need / opportunity arises * it may may the code more accessible to other developrs as we improve the architcture of the existing code base (more on that in subsequent email) As an aside, I also recently discovered that plans are afoot to host maria on git as well: https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5240 cheers, Andrew -- http://blog.oldcomputerjunk.net https://launchpad.net/~andymc73 https://github.com/andymc73 Twitter: @pastcompute GPG: http://www.andrewmcdonnell.net/gpg.html -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~oqgraph-dev Post to : oqgraph-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~oqgraph-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
