It is not true that all kde svn modules should be migrated in the same way, as they have very different needs. Personally, I 'm thinking of the kdebindings module, and I'm sure there are several other KDE modules that don't fit into some kind of cookie cutter pattern that the forthcoming paper might describe. However, is 'people working on a paper' the best way to discuss the social implications of the move to git. Do the people working on the paper have some insights that the rest of us don't? I don't see why it can't be discussed on some mailing list like other topics. However, 'social implications' doesn't belong on this mailing list perhaps. Or the implications on KDE release schedules of the git move don't belong here either. Or the i18n implications of the git vs svn workflow. It is very hard to find some central place in the KDE community where all the aspects of the git move can be discussed. > on the other hand, rules for big modules are also applicable to split > modules, so feel quite free to help out with those ;) or I suppose there's > extragear, where we've already decided the sensible thing is to split on > each app. there's no shortage of tasks to do that don't depend on the > outcome of this layout discusion. :) If people are 'publishing papers' and handing down decisions by implication, then it isn't a discussion. I'm sure it can be an excellent basis for a discussion perhaps, but telling people to hold off doing practical things is a bad idea in my opinion. -- Richard _______________________________________________ Kde-scm-interest mailing list Kde-scm-interest@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-scm-interest
