[Libstoragemgmt-devel] [RFC] Moving git repo from sf.net to github

[Gris Ge]

Hi Guys,

Just want to start a RFC thread talking about moving to github.

Another thing, should we move maillist to other space like
fedorahosted, redhat mailist or etc.

Considering the tailing advertisement and a chance of lose email,
I vote for moving to other maillist.

I also created first pull request:
https://github.com/libstorage/libstoragemgmt/pull/1

And first issue for tracking this migration:
https://github.com/libstorage/libstoragemgmt/issues/2

For future code works, I would suggest:

1. Use pull request which could make reviewer's life much easier.
# Should we have an email sent to maillist?

2. Use issue to trace feature suggest, bug report and etc.

3. If anyone ask questions or share ideas in IRC or maillist,
we suggest them to create an issue in github, if not, we create
one for them to trace it.

4. For 'git send-email' to maillist, we still welcome it and review it
in the old way.

Any comments?

This is the main reason to migrate in my opinion. The email has been
quite poor with sf. My first thought was fedorahosted, but if anyone
else has suggestions please let them be known.

The github wiki is in a git hub repo:

https://github.com/libstorage/libstoragemgmt.wiki.git

I'm looking at using asciidoc instead of markdown for the documentation.
My preference would be to keep the wiki in the separate github repo. I
also want to investigate using https://pages.github.com/.

I would like to continue to use the mailing list where appropriate so
that others not using github will see what's going on.

These all seem reasonable.

Until we get a full migration completed I want to keep the existing site
up to date and then when completed change all the info on the sf.net
site to refer to github.
