The current cvs server has 100Mbit to the switch, and then Gig-e out to the
rest of the world.  So for 99.999% of the folks out there, the network
bottleneck will be at their own end of the pipe. :-)

Sure enough. But if we take a migration into consideration, we sould 
probably go the GIT route. Although I'm not too experienced with git 
when it comes to committing things to it, from the git pull side, it 
looks pretty nice. I don't know however how it performs with binary 
data, which would be nice to know for flightgear-data. IMHO, the current 
solution as read-only is a good way to test it from one side and maybe 
later move more stuff to it.

Cheers
Chris

The (my) GIT mirror doesn't intend to replace Curt's CVS service, at
least not in the near future. Nevertheless I have in mind to propose a
switchover to GIT once the Windows support has proven to be reliable in
all modes of operation.
BTW, in case of demand I'd consider enabling read-only CVS pservice as
an alternative frontend to this GIT repo.

In the current state it's primarily meant as an option for those who
are not entirely happy with the current CVS service, those who can live
with a certain delay - source repositories are being synced every for
hours, the data repo every six hours - but who like the network
performance of this GIT service - in fact it's the best-networked
repository service FlightGear ever had  :-)

Martin.

Hi,

Could be that this message comes twice due to an error I had from my 
mailprovider...

GIT: 
I did test it some days ago, and it works, but it is not very comfortable. 
Well, not for me without any background in programming etc. 

The current SVN and CVS-clients are more comfortable. So in the moment I would 
like to see, that for releases and official things we keep on CVS( or maybe

 Download Virtual Box from sun (free) and run Linux in a virtual
machine on your mac/windows host. 

That said, if anyone is looking for a fun toy ... VirtualBox is pretty
cool.  I've got Vista running in a virtual machine on my Linux host and it
works amazingly well.  I'm not getting all of Vista's fancy effects (a good
thing?) but otherwise both OS's run lickity split on the same hardware at
the same time, even with FlightGear going full tilt on the Linux side ...
pretty cool stuff!

 The lack of windows support is a serious knock against
using git in a multi-platform project.  Has this been addressed since I
looked into this the last time, or are there plans to address it? 

What Martin is referring to is a read only git mirror of the official
FlightGear CVS repository so it should cause no harm as long as we are
careful not to develop official dependencies that can only be supported on a
single operating system.

Curt.

Depends on whom you ask. I know that GIT support on Windows machines
had been somewhat whacky for quite a while. Primarily GIT had been
relying on some Unix filesystem features that had not been available on
Windows - Mac OS X is not an issue because it basically is a Unix. I
suspect James Turner is successfully using GIT on the Mac.

I know about this GIT client implementation on Windows:

  http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

  but I don't have any opportunity to check wether it works. I'd
welcome you to try it out and report back on this very list.

Salut,

Hey Martin,

I guess I'd like to ponder this a little while longer.  Should be no problem
to use the existing mapserver name (i.e. not having git.flightgear.org just
yet doesn't impede anyone's development progress), and I guess I'd like to
spend some more time thinking about how official we want to make our
project's git support.

Regards,

Curt.

Ah, I did not notice it's only providing http access. The last time

Should be feasible, network bandwidth seemingly is not an issue and the
machine just got an upgrade to 32 GByte RAM. If people dislike GIT over
HTTP, then I'd check with our 'sponsor' wether I might set up an
anonymous GIT daemon. Yet, according to my tests, the performance of a

FWIW, mine is at http://pigeond.net/git/

FG source/data and SG source updates are triggered by cvs log
e-mails.

Having a central git repo would be great. Perhaps we could use the
one at mapserver.flightgear.org Martin mentioned? Maybe have a
git.flightgear.org subdomain or something.

I know quite a few people have been using my repo. But I'd like to
point out that my server's network (mainly upstream) has been very
saturated these days during MP peak hours. And the situation is not
going to get any better, as MP is getting more and more popular (which
is a good thing of course).

And yes, we need more MP servers :)
