I often just sit in #commits on irc.gnome.org... Works pretty well for me :) Cheers, Kevin Kubasik On 9/11/07, Paolo Borelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Il giorno lun, 10/09/2007 alle 17.40 -0400, Claudio Saavedra ha scritto: On Mon, 2007-09-10 at 17:01 -0400, Havoc Pennington wrote: Then the daily summary could be in the planet gnome feed, perhaps.

I totally second the feeling that we are currently missing something that allows to keep an eye on all the GNOME commits. When we were on CVS I used to use bonsai go get a webpage with all commits in the last 24 hours and skim through it to see if anything interesting happened. CIA.vc already provides some access to this information in a standard way. For instance, http://cia.vc/stats/project/gnome/.rss for all the commits going in I am using this, but it's far from what I liked in the old setup: first of all in bonsai I was just one click away from the actual patch, so that I could see the real change in case something looked interesting. Now I have to manually use viewcvs, which makes it way less frequent: for instance it happened more than once that I spotted a bug or a typo by reviewing committed diff in bonsai, this has not happened anymore since I just go through the pain of looking at a diff in viewcvs only in rare cases. Beside CIA feeds are not 100% reliable and they seem to drop commits sometimes so I cannot use the feeds to see if something was committed to my modules.

Hi, On 9/10/07, Olav Vitters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: svn-commits-list exists and you can limit the email receive to one or more projects (or all). Right, but like I said I'm not sure it scales anymore; there's too much stuff in svn to want to get an email per commit. If you limit to only your projects, then you miss out on learning things by accident, which is the real value. For example, if you are a library maintainer, it's very helpful to happen to see commits where people are trying to use the library. And everyone benefits from noticing new experimental projects as they appear. Maybe a daily summary like: gnome-panel - whoever (3), someone-else (2) ... where it's all linkified going to the appropriate svn/git web (could also have mouseover tooltips showing details so you could quickly scan) Then the daily summary could be in the planet gnome feed, perhaps. I don't know, I'm sure there are better solutions, and it's academic unless someone turns up who decides to try and code something. Just throwing out ideas.

quote who=Havoc Pennington Bringing it back to the present, there's stuff on svn.mugshot.org that really belongs on gnome.org, but it seems it didn't end up there. I don't think this was a conscious thing, but I think it probably was due to just enough of a barrier to create a new gnome module. This happens with more than just revision control infrastructure. More and more projects are hosting everything (web, svn, lists) elsewhere, because of the social and technical issues related to staying upstream -- it's not just infrastructure (though your example is probably the strongest atm). Anyway, this warrants a lot of thought. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australiahttp://lca2008.linux.org.au/ Again you are making up inventing as you go.
