Hi everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It's been discussed before, but Infra would like to hear any concerns |
| 4 |
about work towards not having CVS anymore. As an interim in this |
| 5 |
process, it will be offered in a read-only mode. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
gentoo/src/patchsets/ is the only part of CVS that gets commits still. |
| 8 |
Some of those patchsets have already moved to new repositories, but |
| 9 |
others are active. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
mgorny recently started to look at conversion of the major legacy CVS modules: |
| 12 |
gentoo & gentoo-src. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Infra would provide 1:1 conversions of all remaining CVS modules as of |
| 15 |
the shutdown date, for future historical research. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Here's the modules that would be included, as well as the size: |
| 18 |
(*=available on anoncvs): |
| 19 |
- anaconda_for_gentoo (27M) |
| 20 |
- content (4M) |
| 21 |
- gaming (14M) |
| 22 |
- gentoo * (1G) |
| 23 |
- gentoo-gfx (1M) |
| 24 |
- gentoolkit (2M) |
| 25 |
- gentoo-projects * (150M) |
| 26 |
- gentoo-src * (136M) |
| 27 |
- gentoo-web (3M) |
| 28 |
- munchie (170k) |
| 29 |
- ppc-sources-dev (600k) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
For size comparison, the gentoo-x86 CVS module was about 4G when we |
| 32 |
switched to Git, and that generated the 1.8GB repo/gentoo/historical.git |
| 33 |
repo (which included app-backup that got lost in earlier conversions). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
From the 1:1 conversions, any remaining active codebases can be |
| 36 |
converted to meaningful smaller git repos. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Is there some part of CVS that you think should be protected and not |
| 39 |
made public? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
So far I'm aware of the following that needs special handling: |
| 42 |
- gentoo-doc (empty) |
| 43 |
- old gentoo-infra module |
| 44 |
- userinfo.xml files: anoncvs historically excluded these because they |
| 45 |
used to contain developer private email addresses from LDAP. That |
| 46 |
information could be redacted and then the files included. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Somebody should find time to review the remaining non-public CVS repos |
| 49 |
and flag any content that might be problematic to release. |
