All,
My comments on this subject probably have more to do with the overall way
that the Ganglia projects works rather than just versioning. Right now we have
a wiki page that is hosted at SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia) which describes how the Ganglia
project used to work when the repository was SVN. Now that things have moved
to Github and some of the people who were running the project at the time are
not as involved anymore (namely me :), it seems as though things are getting a
little confusing. For example, the versioning rules for Ganglia releases is
also described on the sourceforge wiki
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/wiki/how_project_works). Although in
some ways it might be similar to what has been discussed recently, it is
different. People who are trying to figure out how the Ganglia project works
will probably run across the older wiki page first (since it is still linked to
Ganglia.info) and then be confused by how versioning is actually handled now.
Also, since the procedures and policies on the older wiki page were modeled
around SVN, the Git way of doing things obviously makes a lot of the older wiki
information obsolete.
I think it is important that the Ganglia project gits on the same (wiki)
page with regards to how the project works and what information the project
wants to provide to new users and developers (all puns intended ;-) .
Especially in light of the fact that many of us are working on the Ganglia
Monitoring book. Hopefully once the book is released, it will generate more
interest in the Ganglia project and it would probably look bad if we had two
different wiki pages providing conflicting information. Since I haven't been
as involved with the project especially since the source code was moved to Git,
is there someone who could review the SourceForge wiki page and determine what
information is still valid and which isn't? At that point we could decided
whether to just update the SourceForge wiki or move it all to Github wiki.
Comments?
