While I agree that such a history cut-off may be appropriate at some
point, I do not think we're there yet. And I did not mean to suggest
such a thing. I was just referring to the removal of old and unmerged
branches.

I've cleaned up some merged branches.

+1 on the "historic" (or "archive") clone where we would keep all history.

this is usually normal way when working with any git/hg projects repos when
they grow to "big" (to big in size of history) and its taking long time to do
the initial clone. usually when developing a project you're only interested in
last year or two of history at most.

it is not that this must be done, but it would definetly not hurt anybody.
history is not lost and main development repo becomes "lighter" to work with.

Unmerged branches is a "grey area", IMHO.

If a branch was never merged (and was not a stable/maint branch), the
code is (in a way) no more part of project history than any of the
nixpkgs forks and topic-branches floating around on the internet
today. (Not all forks get merged, and unmerged forks become less and
less important as time passes.) I must emphasize that this is from the
viewpoint of "a newcomer" to the project. I realize that those of you
that have contributed to those branches may feel differently about
them.

I think of the old branches in nixpkgs more as traces of its more
"centralized" days.  (Many of the branches are from the subversion
era, right?)

> However, we could rename dead branches to something like attic/.

Yes, that's sounds better than what we have now. Alternatively, we
could make a "historic" repo clone (like Nathan Bijnens suggests).
nixpkgs-historic? Then we have an option to clean up some less used
branches/tags in the mainline repo.

Removing merged branches doesn't destroy history.
BTW, historically significant versions that aren't meant to be changed 
anymore might better be converted to tags.

My vote is to remove merged branches without historical significance
(version 0.5 is a keeper, like upstart), and then any branches that got
their last push before August 2014 are renamed to attic/...

That should make the github interface easier to navigate.

Re: [Nix-dev] Why are there so many branches in the nixpkgs repo

[stewart mackenzie]

Might I ask, what is the point of stale code not being executed?

And if code is being written to sit stale on a branch, isn't that wasted talent?

Lastly (if there is no renaming attic/) it just confuses people.

Having code merged into a canonical branch asap makes for faster
feedback cycles from the community.

No, they should not be removed, unless they were merged. Deleting history kind
of defeats the purpose of having a version management system...

However, we could rename dead branches to something like attic/.

I made the suggestion that "too experimental" branches / new ideas etc
could be submitted to github.com/nixos/nixpgks-ideas or so. This would
keep the official repository clean while allowing to submit less common
code or keep more history as appropriate.

In any case I'd vote for a VERISON file which explains a branch's
purpose shortly.

I disagree, even if branches are old, we should not just delete them.

We could go over a list of those that are merged (git branch -r --merged
master), but still for example 'upstart' is a branch that was taken before
systemd has replaced it. Maybe it should be a tag.

Hi nixos maintainers,

what do you think about removing the old branches, as listed below (I
guess all before 12-2014 or something) should be removed,...

Good question. I've been thinking the same; there are way to many
old/stale branches in official nixpkgs repo. Similar for tags. Here
are just a few:

backups/parallel-building-merger@34171
backups/pure-python@34174
backups/stdenv-ada@26758
backups/stdenv-bootstrap-20100825@23426
backups/stdenv-updates-merge@10849
backups/stdenv-updates2@18273
backups/stdenv-updates2@18282
backups/stdenv-updates@10965

And further, about tags:

$ git describe
fatal: No annotated tags can describe
'8e62c497ca82af93a45d65ebdbb2bad808e5bc7b'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.

$ git describe --tags
last-glibc-2.13-33480-g8e62c49

That's not right it should say 14.12-something or 15.05-something.
(And the tag should be _annotated_, so we know who tagged it and
when.)

[Nix-dev] Why are there so many branches in the nixpkgs repo

[Matthias Beyer]

Hi,

why are there so many branches in the nixpkgs repo? I mean, what are
they are for?

Maybe we should remove some of them,... I don't think, for example,
that

0.5-stable
upstart
or
test-1515

are even relevant anymore, are they?
