If the repository as a whole isn't converted to a single repository, you'll |
| 10 |
always have to deal with creating the necessary awareness towards the users |
| 11 |
about different locations. But that doesn't mean it'll involve breakage of |
| 12 |
anything. |
| 13 |

Personally, I know the most about the gentoo/xml part of the repository. |
| 15 |
Most of the things below that (like gentoo/xml/htdocs, ...) are all quite |
| 16 |
much related to each other. A change on an XSL file might be best done |
| 17 |
simultaneously with a change on a DTD and various XML files. So my |
| 18 |
suggestion would be to at least keep this repository in one "set". |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I know there are different privileges assigned below that (translation teams |
| 21 |
have different commit rights than documentation editors, who have different |
| 22 |
commit rights than website, etc.) and I don't know if git handles this too. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Otoh, for me, I don't mind if the commit rights on gentoo/xml are all put |
| 25 |
together. After all, we don't put ACLs on gentoo-x86 either do we? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The other parts, like gentoo/misc (which hasn't seem an update in years), |
| 28 |
gentoo/users (which I think can best be migrated to gogo on a per-user |
| 29 |
level, and might not even require migration of the history) and gentoo/src |
| 30 |
(which I think can be best migrated to gogo as well, but probably involves |
| 31 |
history migration too) I know less about. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So, what if we |
| 34 |
- focus on gentoo/xml as a migration to git |
| 35 |
- contact the folks mentioned in gentoo/users to see if they can request a |
| 36 |
git repo on gogo and migrate their content themselves |
| 37 |
- contact the projects mentioned in gentoo/src to see if they need to have a |
| 38 |
git repo on gogo and if so, if they need to have the commit history |
| 39 |
migrated as well |
| 40 |
- put gentoo/misc in freeze |
| 41 |
