Agree with your proposal Suresh, we need to review all endpoint/systems that integrate which many likely break won't work after the update, to list a few we need to manage post such a change:
* Rename and push the branch and request ASF infra to change default branch to 'main' in Github repo settings for all the repos * Travis and Jenkins/ASF integration * Community/external CI systems that do rpm/deb packaging, UI building, apidocs and systemvmtemplate builds; website and project docs repos build jobs * Git mirrors including the ASF mirror (unless we need to do something different) * Update usage of 'master' branch on project website, cwiki, internal readme/install docs * External docs/blogs/repos/integration and 3rd party tools/libraries that intergrate/use/link with CloudStack * Check if Github/Git support a way to still allow pulling from 'master' branch which internally links to 'main' (some like of aliasing like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/549920/is-it-possible-to-alias-a-branch-in-git/549949#549949) Regards. ________________________________ From: Simon Weller <swel...@ena.com.INVALID> Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2021 21:08 To: dev <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Renaming default git branch name from 'master' to 'main' +1 ________________________________ From: Gabriel Beims Bräscher <gabr...@apache.org> Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2021 6:56 AM To: dev <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Renaming default git branch name from 'master' to 'main' I am +1 on migrating from 'master' to 'main' branch.
