Thanks for documenting, gonna try it. Noticed that the links to the LP bug report page in the commit message disappears on github, something i found very practical until. Interested to see your sync script. The bad part at /commits/master is currently when someone watches with a stern look if yo

I'm not too worried about proprietary hosting. Even if we wanted to we couldn't "fork" our launchpad site since the data is locked in to Canonical's servers. If the code itself is hosted in a free-software VCS then I think that is good enough. It would be great if git had built-in support for issue

I agree, we should do a poll. I'll be glad to participate so we can just get the ball rolling finally. To elaborate my position (also to offer some more choices for the poll), If I were the benevolent dictator of Mixxx (which I'm not, thankfully for all) I'd dictate the use of github as the ma

Here's an interesting article from one of the Bazaar devs on the decline of the project: http://stationary-traveller.eu/pages/bzr-a-retrospective.html I wonder how long it will be before we see a decline in Launchpad as well, or maybe it's already happening which is why it hasn't changed much in t

Thank you RJ for your answers. One point I am still worrying: If we move with lp:mixxx to git and also with e.g.:lp:~mixxxdevelopers/mixxx/quit_being_a_jerk It the possible to merge from the new "mixxx" to the new "quit_being_a_jerk" branch? If not we will have a long period where we have to mirro

Cool, point-and-click native app for Github! But not for Linux :-( Which one would you recommend for Linux? How compatible are git and bzr in terms of loosing history. We have currently 97 branches listed in Launchpad. Will it be possible to merge theme with a git master some commits ahead? Or it

A reminder that launchpad wasn't open source for almost 2 years after Mixxx started using it. Hell, Stallman built GCC on VAX and Sun because there weren't any free operating systems that did what he wanted yet. :^) -- @nathandotz github.com/sleepynate | www.sleepynate.com On Monday, Decem

I don't have too much experience with git. But my experience with bzr was all negative. The learning curve was very steep. I always got the feeling that you needed to understand a great deal of the internal workings in order to understand what command you should run. When we swtiched it was my fir

Hi RJ, Hi All "bzr vs. git" if you ask Google you find a lot of pros and cons for both. I personal like the IMO easy "commit / update" scheme from SVN. Every time I use git it is hard for me to understand what will happen. But I am willing to learn. :-) I think you listed pros and cons are valid

One more benefit is we could use it as a time to get rid of the mixxx/ directory in the root of our tree since everyone has to re-checkout the tree anyway. On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 7:46 PM, RJ Ryan wrote: > Here's a thought. What if we moved our repos to git and hosted on GitHub? > We would use

Hi RJ, I agree with your assessment and it aligns with my own experience with git and GitHub. In general, I'm sold on git, but I'm not quite sold on GitHub. I don't think GitHub makes a very good "development hub" for large open source projects since project management features are non-existent.
