[gentoo-project] Gentoo now has a Github "organization"

[Matthew Summers]

Hi!

Due to a fortunate and unexpected sequence of events, gentoo now has
an organizational github account.

I pose this question to you, the readers: What do you think we should
do with this?

Thanks!
Matt

We don't even use git in our workflow, so I see no point in setting up
a github repo.

How about this? Mirror overlays for projects that are understaffed to
encourage more broad contribution from the community. Thoughts?

It also may be interesting to use the github workflow with
proxy-maintainers (which might also make the proxy-maintainers project
even more visible) ?

Seems like quite a bunch of people and potential contributors are used
to github so we might be able to capitalize on it.

It may even increase the collaboration between individual software
organizations as well. I know some do make their own Gentoo ebuilds,
but then never get passed along to us or become outdated because the
one developer who made it no longer works with that project or has
lost interest or....

Tend to agree, although a big liability will be the fact that we're
still not on git ourselves.  So, to be useful that github tree would
to get regular cvs updates incorporated, and then any content would
need to be manually moved over.  The trees would be constantly
slightly out of sync - what happens if somebody commits a fix without
a revbump to git and then the cvs tree refreshes git not showing the
change, and so on?

I guess for proxy-maintained packages we could just consider the
git-tree "official" and do all forward work there without publishing
cvs changes automatically.  Then cvs updates are just manual copies
when things are good in the git tree.  However, the second somebody
comes along with some library package move or other tree-wide change
they're going to make things out of sync unless they know to go update
git.

Seems like overlays are the best candidate for a place to start since
they largely use git already.  Maybe this is just one more reason to
get the main tree onto git as well...

Managing more than a few eclass/builds fromthe main tree while watching 
upstream (Gentoo) for conflicts is a very difficult workflow. For those projects 
already using git like Kde and Haskell it's at least helpful to be able to 
look at logs and do diffs on my own machine. Users get much more out of having 
git available than those with commit access.

It will be a pain from our (proxy-maint) side to use git workflow on a
cvs tree. Speaking of myself I am not interested in supporting this
"mixed" kind of collaboration and frankly I see no viable way for
someone to do that in the long term.

Re: [gentoo-project] Gentoo now has a Github "organization"

[Matthew Summers]

So, to summarize so far:

1. Mirroring overlays seems like it is a good idea or at least ok.

2. The portage tree is not ready to be mirrored and attempting a git
workflow will be painful at the moment. It's assumed, however, that
once portage is git-managed these troubles will disappear.

What else folks?

What about mirroring the docs repo? I think its git-managed now or
will be soon. What other repos would benefit from this?

I don't understand how this would be painful. In my mind:

 $ cp ~/github/collab/cat/pkgfile.ebuild ~/gentoo/gentoo-x86/cat/pkg/
 $ cd ~/github/collab/cat/pkg
 $ # Follow normal commit steps here.

Then realize that you just committed an ebuild that lacks some fix the
foo.eclass team quietly made to the previous ebuild when making some
tree-wide tweak.

In maintaining the mythtv ebuilds one of the things I've noticed is
that it is not always easy to keep tree ebuilds in sync with an
external overlay, because people do stuff to the tree all the time
without involving the maintainers.  Usually these are relatively small
changes that are good from a quality perspective (often related to
dependencies/etc), or just stuff like package moves/virtuals/etc, but
the bottom line is that if you just merge some change from an overlay
without doing some checks you can end up with a regression.

So, if people are going to submit patches to help out it is best that
those patches be against what is actually in portage and not some
slowly diverging repository.  The only way to really address this is
to somehow apply changes automatically back into the overlay, but that
has issues as well.

In a git-based world with easy branching/etc this would likely be less
of a problem...

Hmm, I think it requires a Gravatar account to set a logo. I guess I

It was created then, by someone not affiliated with Gentoo. I noticed

Right now, just official gentoo devs and staff. We may change this at
some point in the future. This is still undergoing policy review,
since we obtained the github org unexpectedly.

What a kind man.

When the Gentoo github goes fully operational, I think a 'thank you' note
on its main page is in order. Probably linked to the guy's own github page,
if he has one.

Just to add to this, we have some gentoo.github.com to link interested
parties to gentoo.org et. at.

Please feel free to give ideas for this
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo.github.com viewable at
http://gentoo.github.com

What should we do here, anything? For simplicity I just used what I
did for http://get.gentoo.org

Might I suggest that somebody who is interested volunteer to organize
a github project of some sort (short-lived or otherwise), have
everybody just reach out to them, maybe have a meeting or two on IRC,
and then systematically coordinate what happens with our repository
there and work out access with infra?

The alternative seems to be some combination of everybody wondering
what it is for, and a bazillion one-off access requests on -project,
just so that everybody's name can appear on the member list.

I don't want to suggest that nobody do anything until we have a huge
formal process that will never happen.  I just want to suggest that if
somebody is really interested in our github presence that they just
step up and proclaim themselves the github lead and start soliciting
volunteers to help.  If we get more than one then they can work it out
amongst themselves, or worst case have a quick poll on IRC.  That's
generally how Gentoo projects work.  I'd rather see a benevolent
dictator actually make something happen than lots of people just
waiting for something to happen on its own.  Said dictator should try
to be inclusive, of course.

Matt - if you're interested in taking on this role by all means feel
free, but I imagine you're pretty busy as it is.  I know you were kind
of thrust into it de-facto.

My only suggestion is to try to organize things such that there is
room for many different uses.  I'd carve out a place to put a future
gentoo-x86 git clone, overlays (both project and personal), sources
for other gentoo projects, and so on.  I've been maintaining
cfg-update in my own github repository, and if it makes sense I'd be
happy to move it to the gentoo org as it is just an etc-update
alternative.

To quote from one of the few wikipedia policies that I like, "be
bold!"  Just remember it belongs to all of us.

To the gentoo community in general - unless you want to get involved
in the initial setup, I'd refrain from posting any access requests
until you're actually ready to make some kind of use of it.  If you do
want to get involved productively then by all means speak up, whether
you're a gentoo dev or not (and the team can figure out to what extent
non-devs should have access - if we're going to host anything that
actually ends up distributed like sources for tools we should control
access in general).

I think I have missed somebody, please email me or reply here if you are a
dev and want access. So far we have an overlay for python and
gentoo.github.com for repos.

Cheers
