Hi folks,
This is the kind of email I hate to have to write. We're
facing some urgency on a rather important issue: Savannah
has been down for two days now, and we're going to have to
make some quick decisions to avoid losing any more work
time.
mmm... thinking a little bit more, I think it's not that urgent, but
that's something we have to do anyway. So let's work on it now ;-)
I caught paul/hdl this morning, and we feel a move to SVN
with hosting from Google is the best solution:
http://code.google.com/hosting/
my 2 main concerns here are :
- use a widely known VCS. We need MORE developpers, not LESS. And I
strongly think it's the main concern we must achieve here.
- use a quick / efficient / ... solution. At least more than CVS ;-)
Once we will have choosen the solution, let's go with the hosting
platform & tools wee need.
SVN sounds a good candidate to me. Distributed solutions sounds less
heavily spread, and I really don't nothing with them. I've read arch doc
a while ago, and I was not really enthousiasmed by my reading (but had
no experience, so it's just a feeling)
Another + point with SVN is that it's "cvs child", so it's quite easy to
move from one to the other.
Hosting tools / platform.
savannah is not only a repository, but also a ML system, bug tracking,
release & news system...
- Release system is really poor (far more poor than sourceforge : we
can't have a clear separation of the different versions : just a "ftp
website". That's probably why jmf & LibLime got so many feedbacks with
2.3.0 UNSTABLE version, but that's not written clearly on the website)
- we use bugs.koha.org for bug tracking
- we have www.koha.org & www.koha-fr.org for most news.
So, who can host a SVN repository and, but that's less important, other
tools ?
i'm a little bit afraid by google here : librarian world really looks
ggl as "evil" (I agree with slef opinion here), and I don't want to be
counter-productive by moving to ggl too quickly (some ppl of proprietary
software could rise the fact & use it against our commercials offers
-even if I agree it would be stupid, we can't ignore that...-)
Thus, I think the SVN choice is the good one, but I would prefer another
hosting system.
Savannah works quite correctly, we can afford a 2 days failure rarely.
We moved from SF for 2 reasons : ML very very very slow & SF position
not being so clear for the future.
If savannah offered SVN, I would say "move to SVN, but keep savannah".
gna.org offers a quite correct hosting platform, works fine (it hosts
OpenCataloger, that will reach v1.0 quite soon now, and Dolibarr, a
software I use for my invoice. Never had problems with it).
I'm open to another proposal, but not enthusiasm by google.
Last note : I don't think that's the kind of decision we should take in
1 day.
