Re: [mdt-ocl.dev] Decontainerizing GIT repos

[Sergey Boyko <serg.boyko2011@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I also vote for moving GIT repos naming to the current style.

It would be great if symlinks work. Even in case they won't I think it's good time to switch to new GIT naming.

Regards,

I think we should change the names to the current style. Will the name change force users to change (i.e. get a "invalid repository" error) or will we need to post the new names through the wiki and mailing lists?

The symlink could be use temporally as a solution... although there is nothing more permanent than a temporal solution ...

Hi

Our GIT repos are currently

mdt/org.eclipse.ocl.git
mmt/org.eclipse.qvtd.git
mmt/org.eclipse.qvto.git

The current style is

ocl/org.eclipse.ocl.git
qvtd/org.eclipse.qvtd.git
qvto/org.eclipse.qvto.git

If we don't change there will come a time when the ancient names become a significant confusion.

If we change, all users must correct their GIT connection details, and GitHub may break. It took over six months for QVTd to recover from the m2m/mmt name change, but maybe the GitHub problems have finally been resolved. (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=402183).

Do we want to change? If so, shall we use QVTd as a path finder to see how long GitHub takes to catch up?

Maybe we can have a symlink for old accesses.
