Hi everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Within the next week or two, the Infrastructure team hopes to have the |
| 4 |
Git repos hosted on the main VCS server migrated into Gitolite [4] for |
| 5 |
ease of management [1]. A more exact timeline will be published within |
| 6 |
the next few days. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
We would like to consider re-arranging the namespace of repositories at |
| 9 |
the same time. Suggestions are welcome (to the -dev list), the only idea |
| 10 |
we have so far is a set of top-level directories: |
| 11 |
proj/${PROJNAME}/${REPONAME}.git |
| 12 |
private/${PROJNAME}/${REPONAME}.git |
| 13 |
gentoo-portage.git [2] |
| 14 |
gentoo-portage-historical.git [2] |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The entirety of the proj/ namespace will be mirrored to |
| 17 |
sources.gentoo.org (and anon.gentoo.org). This replaces the selective |
| 18 |
mishmash of choosing repositories that are mirrored. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
When the change goes live, if you have a checkout from any of the |
| 21 |
following repositories, you will need to change your remote as follows: |
| 22 |
OLD: |
| 23 |
git+ssh://${USERNAME}@git.gentoo.org/var/gitroot/${REPO}.git |
| 24 |
NEW: |
| 25 |
git+ssh://git@××××××××××.org/${PATH}/${REPO}.git |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The easy way to do it: |
| 28 |
# git remote set-url ${REMOTENAME} ${NEWURL} |
| 29 |
REMOTENAME is usually 'origin', but advanced git users may have another |
| 30 |
name. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It is applicable for the following repositories: |
| 33 |
/var/gitroot/devmanual.git [3] |
| 34 |
/var/gitroot/gentoo-viewvc-templates.git |
| 35 |
/var/gitroot/gstats.git |
| 36 |
/var/gitroot/packages.git |
| 37 |
(plus 3 private repositories that will be listed on gentoo-core) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
[1] Yes, this is one of the checkbox items on the way to hosting the |
| 40 |
main repositories in Git. |
| 41 |
[2] This is an idea where I'd like to place the main tree, and the |
| 42 |
additional graftable tree with the full history. I'm not entirely |
| 43 |
happy with this location, and WELCOME suggestions to improve it. |
| 44 |
[3] This is the old location, prior to the repository move to |
| 45 |
git.overlays.gentoo.org. |
| 46 |
[4] Thanks to idl0r for working on some modifications we needed. |
