Hello all,
I had a talk with Gavin today, informing myself about the migration from SVN to Git. Since we have already a github mirror process we can not use the self service. I copied the chat to Cwiki, in order everyone can review what have been spoken about. [0] Summary: We have to open a ticket at infra and order the migration. The migration in general will consist of the following steps (taken from slack, chat protocol): The Infra steps in short 1. Verify Github repos is upto date and correct 2. we mark SVN read only 3. we clone the Github repos into Gitbox 4. we make them both writable # We can have multiple Repositories. # Gavin also whish that the depreciated CMS can be shut down in 3 month. I promised we look into it and try to accomplish in the time. There are no deadlines yet. I suggest the following migration Approach: 1) We migrate OpenOffice Code to git 1.1.) OpenOffice main will move into one repository 1.2) OpenOffice ext_source and ext_libraries will be split, and each dependency gets its own repository. 1.3) extras/l10n will become an own repositry 1.4) test will become an own repository. 1.5) we adjust our build environment to reflect the new structure. I.e. You need only checkout core and bootstrap can download everything else. unzip step can be skipped. 2) We migrate CMS to a new solution. We have the option to go for the alterantive, honestly I would like to migrate to a easy to use sollution like neo CMS and migrate the mwiki too. We need to be able to lower the barrier for non tech work where ever we can. 3) PMC folder should be migrated into CWiki.
