[Qgis-developer] GIT open for pull requests on master
Hi Folks Well we have been poking around with the qgis/Quantum-GIS github repo for the last week and I think it looks ok for us to continue to work against it. So unless there are any objections I would like to make it the 'official' code repository and update the docs etc. I will be adding some documentation on how to carry out your basic workflow with the new repo. One thing we briefly discussed on the IRC channel is not reinstating every committer from the svn committer list. Since we now work with a distributed model, it is simple for *anyone* interested in working against our code base to do so and contribute their changes back with very little effort. Also, external contributors get fully acknowledged as their name & email are propogated into the code history when we pull from their repository or apply their patches (if they were created using the git patch preparation tool). As such it makes little sense for use to have tens of committers into the core repository, Instead I would like to suggest that we provide the most active committers with direct access to the repostory and let them apply pull requests from others as needed. The ability to work on QGIS is truly democratised with GIT and the purpose of committers to the core repo should (in my eyes) be just to perform a final screening for code quality etc before it makes its way into the repository. If you are an existing svn committer and feel strongly about wanting to have direct commit access to the master repo, please speak up now. With regards to the migration to redmine, I am waiting on osgeo to provide a backup and then we will attempt the migration - Alex Mandel has kindly offered to help with this - hopefully we will look at it later tonight. As such the release of 1.7 is still on hiatus until we get all our infrastructure updates done - small patches to fix issues in the release branch (no string changes please) are welcome in the mean time. Packagers are also encouraged to build test packages and submit any needed changes to support their packaging work.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the update and all the hard work you and others have put in to get the transition to git completed. I look forward to the migration guide.

It sounds nice, but are you sure that core developers have enough time/will to do that? It is quite boring, it is not a typical work for volunteer enthusiasts. I worry that non critical patches can be left not applied. > If you are an existing svn committer and feel strongly about wanting > to have direct commit access to the master repo, please speak up now. I don't feel "strongly wanting" but I would like to ask for write access: github account 'blazek'.

On the other hand there are quite a few committers in the list who are not very if at all active anymore. If they come back to the project after a long period of activity it would be nice to make sure they are up to speed with our plans and intentions before they directly change code again. >> If you are an existing svn committer and feel strongly about wanting >> to have direct commit access to the master repo, please speak up now. > > I don't feel "strongly wanting" but I would like to ask for write > access: github account 'blazek'. > Added...though I was bitterly disappointed to see your account doesnt have a little mugshot picture associated with it :-) Regards Tim > Radim > -- Tim Sutton - QGIS Project Steering Committee Member (Release Manager) == Please do not email me off-list with technical support questions.

Right, but I thought that that was just about those committers. Every recent committer should IMHO be reinstated. BTW I for one don't like that github pull request business yet. I like to do - mostly small - adjustments (eg. indentation) to the patches I commit without making a big fuss about it . And I don't (yet?) see how that is easier using pull requests...

Also you can just clone directly qgis official repo since you are a committer and not bother with maintaining your own clone on GH which will simplify the process somewhat. If you look at the equivalent svn process you can see that we can ultimately do the same work with only one added command. Regards Tim > > Jürgen > > -- > Jürgen E.

Hi Tim, is it possible to give me direct access to the master repo? My GitHub account is alexbruy.
