So anyone who is in group cinelerra can alter the authors file. Take care. Note 1: Just fixing the file isn't enough to make the sync work again, git stucks somewhere in nowhere and one has to reset the HEAD and restart the sync. Best solution would be of course to fix the authors file before someone new commits and the sync stalls. Anyways this problem occurs rarely and is not that critical (how often are new committers added?) I'll just plan to fix it when it strikes. Note 2: The authors file is not managed under svn or git, I just put it into the tree by coincidence. Maybe we could put it somewhere else.

Re: [CinCVS] AUTHORS file in svn
Hi Christian, We could make a file called, "SVN-COMMITTERS". Though you need to fetch the file before you run git-svn ... Also, I seem to be the quickest to note that the sync isn't working, so if you make the author file on pipapo cinelerra-group writable, and give access to the output logs, then I could fix it as soon as I see a problem also... PIerre Yes, the Syntax needs to be conform what git wants, while the GNU coding standards mandate another syntax. Currently the AUTHORS file is empty which has no use for either git nor gnu coding standards. So far I dont know any other tool which parses the AUTHORS file which is in moderate frequent use (correct me if I am wrong). So having a readable but slightly unexpected syntax is not problematic. The authors file I need has to contain at least all svn committers, but there is in no way a restriction to to add more than that. I would strongly opt for honor anyone ever worked on cinelerra there, also from the HV/upstream list. I think this would be far better than the current no-solution, maybe not perfect but I see absolutely no harm with it. Finally, this thing isn't really worth much discusion. I can keep the 'authors' file and fix it whenever someone new appears as committer.

The authors file that you need can only list the authors with svn access and must conform to a very strict syntax, but OTOH there is at least also HV to be mentioned in AUTHORS plus possibly a lot of other people who have contributed patches. -- Hannes ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
[CinCVS] AUTHORS file in svn
my svn->git sync broke recently because of a unknown author (welcome rafael2k :P), no big problen and easy to fix but anyways: How about maintaining the AUTHORS files instead leaving it empty? currently I have http://www.pipapo.org/.cinelerra-svn_sync/authors I would just suggest to check that into the svn as AUTHORS. Then I can remove the lowercase version and whenever a new auhtor appears someone (maybe me, in the git tree, since I will notice when it breaks) would care about new commiters. May someone with svn access do this? then i'll update my script. Christian ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
