It's slowly happening, but I hope it /is/ happening ;)

and I forget to mention that I’m highly excited with the idea of moving the development to git/github :)

thank you very much for this, Fabio!

Hi all,

I've been playing around with Cog to see what it'd take to move the code to git. GitHub's svn importer [1] isn't very reliable I think (some directories were actually missing), but eventually I managed to convert the entire svn repo to git [2].

Also, I have been able to build different Cog VMs automatically on Travis CI.

yes, we are doing this since some time… one of the many advantages of being in git/github. (we also run pharo tests so we can "more or less” test the vm automatically.

Eventually we might be able to do the same with Squeak, but first things

first ;)

For a working build, see [3]. You can download the results at [4]. Please keep in mind that this is still a "test" ;)

Eliot was also concerned how the version info will be maintained and I have a simple proposal:

Each Cog release will be a git tag and for the version itself we could use semantic versioning [3]. Then the build version is the git tag, the date is the commit date and the URL is the "remote.origin.url”.

+1 (but I think Eliot was concerned on the history already present in svn… for that, there are tools that migrate svn to git with all history, something like this: http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git)

I will do another clean migration locally and a proper integrity check. I

wouldn't want to use the GitHub importer

Here's an example:

Any further suggestions? :)

“squeak” is a bad name :) “cog-vm”, “squeak-vm” (anything with “vm”, in fact) would be better :)

Sure thing, "squeak" was automatically created by the GitHub importer.

Also, the repo won't be owned by my personal account ;) But that is the easy part :)

Best, Fabio

cheers! Esteban
