I'm working on a basic plan, and I've been talking to Robin (and whoever |
| 8 |
else happens to be on #gentoo-dev at the time) about it. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
There's 4 main pieces that I can think of offhand: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1. Getting a reasonable backend setup that is performant for initial |
| 13 |
checkout, updates, and checkins; |
| 14 |
2. Figuring out a workflow that makes the most sense, even if it's the |
| 15 |
same one we already have; |
| 16 |
3. Updating utilities, mainly repoman on the dev side, and rsync scripts |
| 17 |
on the backend; and |
| 18 |
4. A plan for the actual migration. |
| 19 |

Here's progress so far: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1. Working on it |
| 23 |
2. Draft at <http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/master_plan.txt>. Thoughts? |
| 24 |
3. Should be fairly straightforward. Patches welcome! |
| 25 |
4. Could use some discussion. For example, do we provide |
| 26 |
backwards-compat CVS for a while, or do we just provide a git testing |
| 27 |
server for a while and switch things over all at once? |
