Mike, could you please add a few more words of explanation for the uninitiated (like ME!) . . . . I don't contribute code (if only I could . . .), I'm on Windows, and only use Tortoise SVN to be able to build the current source.
From what you say below, it sounds like the SVN stuff will still be there, so maybe I don't need to change anything, but a few questions please . . .
Will the "SVN mirror" get updated as soon as the git code changes ? i.e., how current will it be ? Will SVN be around for a good while yet, or is it on its way out ? Do I need to think about changing things now ? What does git need for Windows users? I just had a quick look at your links and it looks like it needs Cygwin ? Does that mean that I would need to learn something new (Cygwin) to be able to migrate to git if required ? Or is everything seamless ? - OK, maybe not seamless, but relatively easy ? regards Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Jerris" <mike@jerris.com> To: <freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org>; "freeswitch-users" <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 5:59 PM Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Attention all FreeSWITCH and Openzap committors.ACTION REQUIRED
We are in process of our migration from svn to git for our main source control. We will likely still have a read only svn mirror, but all future commits will go to git after the migration. In order to proceed with this process, I will need your full name, public key, email address, and svn username. If you have outstanding svn branches that you would like to keep, please contact me with these details as well, I do not currently plan on merging any branches from svn to the new git repo.
For information on how to use git: http://git-scm.com/documentation , http://git-scm.com/course/svn.html For information on how to generate a public key if you do not already have one: http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dhsu/ssh_public_key_howto.html
For general users, more information will follow on these changes. For now, nothing has changed. Around April 1, there will likely be a 1 time need to do a full checkout if you plan on continuing to use the svn mirror, or a fresh git checkout if you plan on switching to git.
If you have any other questions about the process or changes, feel free to ask.
Mike
