Hi Dmitry, I believe there's some misunderstanding, so I must make it square. Again, I'm *not* asking for a full switch (or any switch at all) of all (or even some) packages of the python module team. I have *NEVER* written such thing, so could anyone writing in this tread refrain from switching to this topic? If you do want to talk about it (which would be a great move, IMO), do it in another thread, or at least not as a reply to my message. What's happening is that some of the python modules which I maintain in Git can continue to be maintained this way. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm perfectly fine using git-svn for what exists already under the team maintenance. However these: python-cinderclient python-cloudfiles python-django-appconf python-django-compressor python-django-openstack-auth python-extras python-glanceclient python-json-patch python-json-pointer python-jsonschema python-keystoneclient python-novaclient python-pecan python-quantumclient python-swiftclient python-tablib python-warlock which I have to maintain because they are dependencies of Openstack, I am using some git commands in debian/rules to: - generate the orig.tar.xz out of the git tree using "git archive" - generate the MANIFEST.in using "git ls-files" (not on all pkgs though) - generate the upstream changelog using "git log" (not on all pkgs though) Also, upstream is using git, so being able to cherry-pick -x some commits is quite convenient. Absolutely *all* of upstream packages are hosted or mirrored on Github. My build process of "openstack-pkg-builder" (scripts hosted on Alioth to make sure that Openstack is easily "bootstrapable") is using git to clone the packaging branch from Alioth, and the upstream branch from Github. We also have some Jenkins jobs doing some basic checks (for the moment, building in a cowbuilder, soon, piuparts too), also using Git. Switching to SVN would be a brainless time consuming move, which I do not intend to even debate. If it's mandatory to use SVN, I wont maintain them inside the python module team, full stop. So my request was: would the python module team accept *these packages* to be maintained in Git? (probably, the python-*client will stay in the Openstack Git repository on Alioth though) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
