Thanks Igor. One little question: is it possible that when someone commits on svn, it automatically commits also in git ?<br><br>thanks<br><br>mariano<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 10:23 PM, Igor Stasenko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:siguctua@gmail.com">siguctua@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello, community<br>
<br>
(preface) there was a discussion about using git for VM sources and<br>
recently in pharo team, we are also discussed that, and decided to go<br>
on.<br>
So i started to look for an options and found that Gitorious is best<br>
solution for us all.<br>
In contrast to github, it doesn't charging users when their repository<br>
grow beyond 300Mb in size.<br>
And its totally free for open-source projects.<br>
<br>
To be sure, that i understood thing well, i even sent mail to support<br>
to clarify some aspects of their policy and got following in answer:<br>
<br>
<<<< quote start<br>
<br>
I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am about this! Smalltalk is<br>
the coolest thing I know about computers, and I love what you have<br>
done with Squeak, thanks!<br>
<br>
<... skip technical details ...><br>
<br>
The short version: go ahead! I'm really pleased you want to use<br>
Gitorious and I hope you'll be satisfied!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

So, after such warm welcome, the choice was obvious :)<br>
I made a mirrors of SVN repositories for Squeak VM and Cog VM<br>
on <a href="http://gitorious.org" target="_blank">gitorious.org</a>.<br>
<br>
i created a group named: squeak-vm-developers<br>
<a href="http://gitorious.org/+squeak-vm-developers" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/+squeak-vm-developers</a><br>
<br>
this group owns two projects:<br>
Squeak VM (<a href="http://gitorious.org/squeak-vm" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/squeak-vm</a>)<br>
and Cog VM (<a href="http://gitorious.org/cogvm" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/cogvm</a>)<br>
<br>
Any member(s) of group having an admin access to these projects , and<br>
commit rights to projects 'blessed' repositories:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed</a><br>
<a href="http://gitorious.org/squeak-vm/blessed" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/squeak-vm/blessed</a><br>
<br>
(yes, a single project could have multiple repositories, but for start<br>
we will use just one - a blessed ;)<br>
<br>
Now what any people from street can do:<br>
- register @ <a href="http://gitorious.org" target="_blank">gitorious.org</a><br>
- go to /cogvm/blessed or /squeak-vm/blessed<br>
- click magic 'clone repository' button<br>
and from now you will have a fresh copy of 'official' repository,<br>
ready for hacking in your own corner,<br>
where you are the all powerful deity and can do anything you want<br>
without asking anyone.<br>
<br>
That's the main reason for migrating to git-based hosting:<br>
- easy for getting in<br>
- no additional administration costs<br>
- people can easily exchange the results of their own experiments<br>
without putting an 'official' repository in danger.<br>
<br>
@(John, Elior, Ian & other currently active SVN users) note: There is<br>
no pressure for migrating to git-based source code management.<br>
<br>
if you keep using SVN, no problem. I will take care with refreshing a<br>
blessed repo(s) with SVN commits.<br>
<br>
But if you want to migrate, ask me, and i will add you to<br>
'squeak-vm-developers' group. Note that this group serves only for<br>
managing<br>
and official 'blessed' repos, and if you don't want participate, you<br>
can just live in own corner as anyone else can. This doesn't make much<br>
difference anyways :)<br>
<br>
I just wanna tell, that from now i will use own clone(s) of 'blessed'<br>
repos for experiments and of course i encouraging everyone,<br>
who wants to start hacking VM(s) to do the same.<br>
