it needs to be announced, yes; i think Ian wanted to pass it by release team first to be sure everything is ok with release engineering before announcing it to the entire community. > - will everything from kdelibs and kdebase and kdepim move (trunk = 4.7 and > 4.6 branch?) history is being maintained; but whether future releases of 4.6 will done from git is indeed something that hasn't been made explicit yet. (imho all future releases should be done from git; backporting bug fixes from a git repo to svn will be hell otherwise) > - why would some split and other not? kdebase is splitting because it's already 3 modules: runtime, apps and workspace. a good test for this is that the 3 kdebase modules are not allowed to depend on each other at build time and they are packaged as three separate chunks by packagers. kdebase is "special" that way; no other module that i know of is actually multiple modules in one. > - what about other modules? this needs updating: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/MovetoGit#Write_.2F_update_importing_rules_for_svn2git that entire page could use with some scrubbing... > what about l10n? for now the translations themselves are remaining in svn to avoid disrupting their workflow. scripty apparently works with git.kde.org based repos now. > - what about documentation for developers? what needs to be done? there's a fair amount on techbase, but "what more needs to be done" is a mystery to me too. a good question to get answers to, though i suspect that some of those answers won't come up until KDE devs start using git and we find out what topics needs to be covered more. -- Aaron J.
