The issue was, which to use. Through exchanges a decision was made to go with Git -- personally I don't agree but Hans is the boss for this project and his choice was Git, so Git it is. Gradle is currently a Codehaus project so the master copy really ought to be hosted by Codehaus, and they do have Git support. Everyone is free to use GitHub for experimentation etc. my point is only that the master Git repository really ought to be on the Codehaus machine. > > For example I can now cacess the java source for the javaplugin to > base my Android Java plugin on..:) BTW, perfect roadmap to how to to > do a Gradle plugin..answered al my questions that I had over the > weekend.. > > Okay two more refactorings left and than I should be pushing out a > Android Application dev plugin for Gradle soon.. > > Fred Grott > http://mobilebytes.wordpress.com >
Also doable with Bazaar and Launchpad, and then no need to drop the
Subversion repository as the master copy ;-) However, this debate is
over, Hans has chosen Git. I just do not think GitHub is the right
place for a master copy of a Codehaus project when Codehaus have Git
repository storage support.
