Re: [OSM-dev] osm2pgsql and mod_tile have moved to git
Besides all the comments that have already been made, I don't think that unilaterally declaring the licence to be GPL is a particularly good idea. There is an issue that not stating licence terms and terms under which contributions can be made would technically make the programs unusable if we wanted to nit pick.

SimonPoole wrote Besides all the comments that have already been made, I don't think that unilaterally declaring the licence to be GPL is a particularly good idea. There is a COPYING file in the mod_tile directory with the full legal text of the GPL2 and that has been there since 2007 according to the svn log. So I don't think it would be unilaterally declaring the license to be GPL SimonPoole wrote There is an issue that not stating licence terms and terms under which contributions can be made would technically make the programs unusable if we wanted to nit pick. I am not a lawyer, so I don't know if technically every single file needs a license header, but I suspect one would have a hard time to argue that it isn't distributed (distributable) under the GPLv2 given the prominent COPYING file that has been there forever.

[OSM-dev] osm2pgsql and mod_tile have moved to git
Hello everyone, as many people seem to prefer using git over svn, we have decided to convert the master repository of osm2pgsql and mod_tile over to git. Therefore, from now on the svn is no longer the upstream repository. Instead these will be https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile/ Previously anyone who had an osm-svn account had commit access to the repositories and could submit patches directly to the master repository, and indeed people did take advantage of this (were forced to take advantage of this). After the move to git, this will no longer be the case. For the moment it is pretty limited who has push rights to the repository (Jon and myself for mod_tile, and Sahra, Brian and myself for osm2pgsql), but that is something that can be discussed and changed. Personally I am in favour of a fairly open policy and would be happy to see others have push rights as well. With that change I guess the bug tracking will also likely mainly move over to the github issue trackers, although track tickets on trac.openstreetmap.org now also get forwarded to the tile-serving mailing list. Therefore they should be noticed and dealt with as well, if you prefer to use trac. As the new repositories live in the same location as previously the svn mirrors you will need to re-check out those repositories, as the history has been re-written to be a cleaner SVN conversion than the mirrors previously were. I hope that doesn't cause any trouble or inconvenience for people who have local forks of the previous mirror.

All of the conversion work and setting up was done by TomH, so he is the one to thank for it. Kai P.S. I sent the announcement to the three lists osm-dev, geocoding and tile-serving, as all seemed effected by this transition. But the following discussion should probably be limited to one of the lists?

I think traditionally in converting projects from SVN to git, the SVN repository was replaced with a single file (e.g. a readme) that mentions the move to the new repository to ensure people aren't left out in the dark. It looks like after initially being deleted it has now been restored as a read only copy? With respect to switch2osm.org, I'll try and fix up those instructions as soon as I can figure out how to edit that page again.
