Hey Sergio The Apache mirrors on Github are by request and run off from git.apache.org. Anyone wanting to have a svn or git project mirrored needs to submit an infra ticket and it can get setup.
As for the Github workflows that are starting to be used, I am not a proponent of them. These workflows are not ideal as they repositories are not under any Asf control and infra can not help if there are any issues, its up to the project to take care of its own. Also with the JClouds and now Usergrid projects using this flow adds a lot of overhead for initial contributions as they have in the workflow the requirement to ensure an ICLA are on file for the contributor. Most committers do not have access to see the status of this. Also since these projects are not working directly against the primary repository it is up to them to ensure that committers are the only ones submitting code to the primary repository and then syncing that code at some point over to the ASF repositories in order to make a release. If we are not providing the right tooling for projects and they are seeking outside means then I would love to work and help make the correct tools available to make workflows easier and ensure security and policies are being met. -Jake On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 5:10 AM, Sergio Fernández < sergio.fernan...@salzburgresearch.at> wrote: > Hi, > > On 03/02/14 10:42, Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: > >> On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 6:47 PM, James Taylor <jamestay...@apache.org> >> wrote: >> >>> The Phoenix project has recently come into incubation from it's former >>> life >>> as a Github project.
