[GRASS-dev] Migration to git, use addons as test case?

[Stefan Blumentrath]

Hi again,


Having browsed some of the historical discussion and arguments made, moving to gitlab.com seems like a natural choice to me personally nowadays (with github beeing bought by Microsoft). If we (and equally important also OSGeo) see a significant advantage of hosting it in OSGeo infrastructure it seems to be doable to import/export projects that way.

If competetive copy-left solutions (like e.g. sr.ht or gitea) emerge and there pop up push factors to leave gitlab.com pluss hosting on OSGeo infrastructure is considered robust enough I would expect migration tools will be developed / provided (like import / export functions in gitlab).


So, I would be happy with a PSC decision on git hosting to speed up the process (as I in fact don have strong opinions here), but if you want to collect user and developer perspectives in advance, the drafted google-forms-survey could be launched as soon as on Monday (tomorrow), if of interest.


Cheers

Stefan

Hi,


Now I created a first draft here:

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GitMigration

Contributions wellcome. I did not manage to collect all relevant discussion yet...


I also drafted a short simple user/developer survey (google form) that would aim at getting a better idea what people thing in general (and what requirements / whishes are). Would such a survey be of interest? I can share an editable link (off-list?) with those interested in improving it...


Kind regards,

Stefan

Hi,

btw:
I infrequently (~ weekly?) sync a mirror of GRASS GIS 7.6.svn in
github (https://github.com/mundialis/grass-gis-stable) based on
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_7_6/
in order to keep the related docker image up to date:
https://hub.docker.com/r/mundialis/grass-gis-stable/

So:
svn -> git push -> github -> hub.docker.com

After git push the rest runs automatically.

Just FYI,

Markus
