Hi guys,
The gentoo CVS repository currently contains the sources for (at least) the
following things:
- the main gentoo site (through gentoo/xml/htdocs/main)
- the gentoo documentation (gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc)
- the gentoo project sites (gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj)
A long time ago, there was talk about migrating it to git. From what I heard
from Matthew, one of the things that might be interfering with this process
is that the current gentoo/xml repository is too large, is that correct?
I don't mind helping along here to get things forward.
Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen

It is not the size that matters, but the layout of the resulting repo
or repos. I know the Foundation has discussed having it's own repo.
There is also the news/gmn/gwn dir and so on.
How should these resultant repos be structured? Are we in a position
to retire some of the dirs in gentoo/ ?

Surely git submodules would help with this?

No, I don't think so. The main thing about submodules is that every
submodule is bound to a specific commit. Unless the main goal here is
to step-update all three modules at once, it's not a good solution.
And in this particular case, using submodules looks like 'let's keep
two copies [hardlinks] of the same repository for no good reason'.

If the repository as a whole isn't converted to a single repository, you'll
always have to deal with creating the necessary awareness towards the users
about different locations. But that doesn't mean it'll involve breakage of
anything.
Personally, I know the most about the gentoo/xml part of the repository.
Most of the things below that (like gentoo/xml/htdocs, ...) are all quite
much related to each other. A change on an XSL file might be best done
simultaneously with a change on a DTD and various XML files. So my
suggestion would be to at least keep this repository in one "set".
I know there are different privileges assigned below that (translation teams
have different commit rights than documentation editors, who have different
commit rights than website, etc.) and I don't know if git handles this too.
Otoh, for me, I don't mind if the commit rights on gentoo/xml are all put
together. After all, we don't put ACLs on gentoo-x86 either do we?
The other parts, like gentoo/misc (which hasn't seem an update in years),
gentoo/users (which I think can best be migrated to gogo on a per-user
level, and might not even require migration of the history) and gentoo/src
(which I think can be best migrated to gogo as well, but probably involves
history migration too) I know less about.
So, what if we
- focus on gentoo/xml as a migration to git
- contact the folks mentioned in gentoo/users to see if they can request a
git repo on gogo and migrate their content themselves
- contact the projects mentioned in gentoo/src to see if they need to have a
git repo on gogo and if so, if they need to have the commit history
migrated as well
- put gentoo/misc in freeze
Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen
