[MacRuby-devel] Moving to GitHub!

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi guys,

We finally decided to move MacRuby's source code repository from subversion to Git, and GitHub seems to be the best place to do it. 

The move will happen somewhere this week-end, or Monday. The repository address will be: https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby. Currently, this repository is a mirror of the subversion one.

Here is how we will proceed:

1) Add frequent contributors to the GitHub repository. [Done]
2) Update the nightly build process to use the GitHub repository. [Done]
3) Stop the GitHub repository mirroring.
4) Empty the trunk branch of the subversion repository, and just keep a text file saying that we moved to GitHub.
5) Refresh the website.

Once this is done, frequent contributors can commit to the central repository on GitHub, and MacRuby's development can continue. We will keep the rest of the infrastructure (such as Trac for managing the tickets), only the source code repository moves.

If you have any suggestion or concern let us know. Also, it's possible that I forgot a step or two, as I'm writing this under the influence of a few guinness :) Hopefully Eloy or Matt will correct me.

Thanks!
Laurent
