Hello developers, By a unanimous decision on 'dspace-devel', the DSpace codebase will be moving to GitHub in the near future.
By my tally, the results were: 20 developers/committers in favor of migrating (+1 vote) 0 developers/committers unsure about migrating (0 vote) 0 developers/committers against migrating (-1 vote) I will now be working with the Committer team to begin this migration process. The migration will likely happen in a series of stages in the coming weeks. I've started a wiki page to begin tracking the migration process: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Migration+to+GitHub (Others are encouraged to add to / enhance this page, as I'm sure there are things I've forgotten. Right now, just some initial steps are listed there) The vast majority of this migration process should happen "behind the scenes" (most developers won't notice anything until the end). But, once we get closer to completion, we will announce the date at which all development is now taking place on GitHub. We will also create some developer documentation around using the new DSpace GitHub. If anyone has any questions, or wants to help out in any way (especially with creating eventual DSpace GitHub documentation), please let us know! - Tim (on behalf of the Committers Team) On 2/29/2012 9:58 AM, Tim Donohue wrote: > Hi All, > > As I've previously stated, today we are opening the vote for whether > DSpace should move its codebase from SVN to GitHub.
