Re: [tracecompass-dev] "Official" Tracecompass github?

Hi Matthew,

How about https://github.com/eclipse ? ;)

Any project can ask to get mirrored on Eclipse's Github. We would just have to ping our EMO.


However, if we don't intend on accepting external contributions through Github, I am not sure it would be really useful. You mention you have 7-8 forks of the project, are you really sharing patches with 7-8 different people?

If it's only to pull paches, you could use one unique repo and setup several remotes locally. On the other hand, if you do want to share patches with other people (and not send to to the "official" repo, at least not right away), then from what I understand of how Github works, you would *still* have to handle 7-8 forks on your own Github.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,

If you look at my github, you will see 7-8 forks of trace compass. The
reason is, we are not using github properly IMO.
We need a curated tracecompass main repo on github, and for people to
fork from that one. I'm not sure about the IP implications of doing
this, does anyone know if we're allowed to do that? We cannot I think,
use ericsson's official github. I am still trying to find who is in
charge of it, maybe Efficios's github could be the official tracecompass
branch? If we get a company name behind it, I think the workflow will
clean up like this.

Thoughts?

Matthew.
