Maybe I should rather subscribe to the x2go-developer list. Looking at
http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:git
tells me about "Checkout all repos:". A bash-script? That looks like
x2go should rather use "git submodules" no?

Hi,

maybe I shouldn't do this before knowing x2go better, but since I was
somehow shocked by this bash script...

I've actually executed it and found out that I should delete the
deprecated line *and* the line

x2goagent.git \

since also that gives a 'permission denied error'.

Furthermore, when I look at http://code.x2go.org/gitweb, I somehow get
the impression that the list on the webpage is completely outdated.

So, here my suggestion. Use git submodules and tell developers to clone
the sources like

  git clone git://code.x2go.org/x2org.git
  cd x2org
  git submodule init
  git submodule update

Someone from the core developers should (of course create the initial
x2org.git.

For demonstration purposes you can start with

  git clone git://github.com/hemmecke/x2go.git

but some core developer should actually produce a x2go.git like

  mkdir x2go
  cd x2go
  git init
  for r in buildscripts.git ,,, ; do \
    git submodule add git://code.x2go.org/$r; \
  done
  git commit

with the correct list of (sub-)projects or simply clone my x2go.git and
add the missing projects via

  git submodule add git://code.x2go.org/libjpeg-turbo.git

and then publish that x2go.git repo somewhere.


This probably doesn't give you the exactly same setup as you had before,
since (as you can see from the git://, everyone would only get read
access to the repository.

But hey, we are dealing with git, nobody actually needs write access to
anybody elses repository. The X2GO project has just to declare some of
the many repositories as the OFFICIAL one and one or two people would be
responsible to push into this OFFICIAL repository. For collaboration
there is github and all the other free git-repository hosting providers.

But of course, that is all up to the inner core of developers who
decide. I've just made my suggestion. Feel free to adapt to your actual
needs. (Since I am too new, I don't yet know them.)

Implementing what you suggest is very likely to break our build
infrastructure, which automatically builds nightly debian packages for
debian and ubuntu. I'm not saying that it was impossible to do what
you suggest, but we must ensure first that changing the repository
organization does not cause regressions for our users.

Huh? I don't understand this. All I suggested was to add a new "super"
repository that pulls in the existing ones for a local setup. All your
official repositories can stay where they are. You could even leave the
bash script in place if you like.

I think I forgot to include a link.
http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules

it feels as if there is a misunderstanding...

Each Git projects on git.x2go.org is complete by itself and reflects a quasi Debian-like source package so we can easily build your packages for Debian+Ubuntu right out of Git.

However, X2Go falls into several components, some for the server, some for the client. Combining these components in your installation is of your choice.

So, the issue about checking out all Gits at once is just for us developers as we normally work on all Git projects.

Thus, it is very hand to clone all the X2Go upstream Git projects locally in one blast. A shell script is sufficient for that, I guess. I actually do not want to set up a meta Git project pulling in all other Git projects as submodules as in daily development work it does not make much sense. Thanks for your thoughts, anyway!!!

Greets,
Mike
