Great, so with that support I need anyone that has committed to uPortal in the past and is planning on contributing to uPortal in the future to go and sign up for an account on GitHub. Once that is done please either reply here or update the table on the wiki page with your account info:

This is just core uPortal. The only thing that is getting moved is https://source.jasig.org/uPortal. If individual portlet projects are interested in moving that is up to them though the same username mapping info would likely be useful. I'm going to stick the svn2git authors file in the

The GitHub migration vote currently stands at: Binding: 3 +1 10 0 -0 NonBinding: 2 +1 00 0 -0 This is enough to pass by the project voting standards but I wanted to bring this up one last time before scheduling the migration for additional input. The 4.0.1

I was originally a 0 on this issue; I think the primary committers by and large won't have too much difficulty switching to git, but I shared some of the earlier concerns about deployers depending on svn. Now that this read-only mirror is possible, my vote is +1 as long as that becomes a required

I had a bit of a chat about this and basically you are correct. There will be efficiencies to be made where possible but little disruption to the self governance of projects. So this won't be a barrier to any move to Git. cheers, Steve On 12/09/2011, at 12:48 PM, Eric Dalquist wrote: I'll

I've verified that we will be able to the keep the existing https://source.jasig.org/uPortal svn data as a read-only mirror of the git repository. Existing revision numbers will not change and commits on the git side to the trunk and patches branches will automatically be reflected back to the

I'd like to see uPortal's source code moved to git and hosted on GitHub. There have been quite a few folks that have been working on uPortal 4, uMobile or are otherwise interested that have asked about using git. After looking into it a bit more I think it would be a very valuable change for

+/- 0 I think making this change so soon after the uPortal 4.0.0 release, is a mistake. I think it would be better to let that release simmer for a while to shake out if there were any major problems. If this vote was to take place in a month, or at least 2 weeks after some university was

There's a command line interface, cool. Does git have anything like svn:externals? A quick search brought up a few pages that lead me to believe it might be an issue, though if a read-only SVN repository is still part of the plan, maybe that covers it. I'd have to do more research. On Wed, Aug

I'm curious as yo why the concern about the closeness to the 4.0 release? I was actually thinking that doing the switch as soon as possible after 4.0 would be better as it would give more time for developers to get used to the change before a 4.0.1 is needed. -Eric On 8/31/11 3:05 PM, Cris J

Not officially voting just yet as I'd like to see this really thrashed out. Switching to a different SCM system can isolate users who don't know how to use it. Git is complex. Much more so than Subversion. It may be more powerful but that doesn't mean a lot to the average user who wants to fix
