This is now complete, and all SVN repos are now on github.

Developers should let me know if they want access/ownership of any repo.

That sounds like a good idea (though it might make more sense to use
space as the delimiter).

(But also note that it's straightforward to arrange something similar
by forking the repository.)

Re: [Jgeneral] github-based addons

[Alex Shroyer]

Pulling the latest master branch from GitHub is a nice default, but PLEASE
make it possible to specify a particular version.
A simple solution is something like:

install 'github:username/reponame'  NB. latest version from the default
branch
install 'github:username/reponame@076d0d3d7b9e79cedf241be5b668e0df11c8eec3'
NB. a specific commit
install 'github:username/reponame@releasename'  NB. tagged commit or
"release"

This makes it easy to install the latest from the master branch (probably
what people want for development) but also makes it possible to install
specific snapshots for reproducible builds (important for keeping
dependencies sane).

Just my $0.02.

Re: [Jgeneral] github-based addons

[chris burke]

An update on this -

Tomorrow we will change all Jsoftware SVN repos to read-only, and start
migrating them to github. I'll post when this is complete.

This should not affect any normal use of J or the J addons.

[Jgeneral] github-based addons

[chris burke]

(This is cross posted to general and programming - please send any comments
to general.)

We plan to move the addons source from SVN to github, and at the same time
support installs from personal github repos outside the main addons source.
See code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Addons/GitHub .

We have this working now, but would appreciate comments before going ahead,
thanks.
