| ironfoot | I'm going to start collecting some information about this cvsps problem | 09:57 |
|---|---|---|
| ironfoot | afaik, nothing has changed, but I couldn't really tell given the size of the snowflake | 09:57 |
| paulsherwood | :-) | 09:58 |
| paulsherwood | ironfoot: based on what we know now, is there a sensible alternative solution for GBO? | 09:59 |
| paulsherwood | gtristan: ^^^ | 09:59 |
| ironfoot | some of the problems with g.b.o come from the conversion from VCS to git. This might not be a big problem nowadays, but the thing is that we are not looking for updates of the software we use for mirroring/lorrying | 10:04 |
| ironfoot | an alternative, ignoring the conversion to git, would be to create a mirroring system to keep everything in the same VCS it came from | 10:05 |
| ironfoot | but that might add some complexity to the system (i don't know, given that I've never worked with those tools) | 10:05 |
| ironfoot | a short term solution for the cvsps problem would be to check what CVS repos we have and see if we can do something else | 10:06 |
| gtristan | ironfoot, umm... related ongoing conversation here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/buildstream-list/2018-March/msg00009.html | 10:16 |
| gtristan | pointing to middle of thread where I think more interesting reading starts. | 10:17 |
| ironfoot | those are implementation details for a "re-implementation" of "g.b.o" with the idea of keeping everything on its original VCS, correct? | 10:29 |
| paulsherwood | me is disappointed... the vcs war was already over by the time I joined codethink :) | 11:02 |
| ironfoot | and most of the world has moved to git since then, but from what I can see in buildstream, this is still not the case for all the source code of the systems they are aiming to support | 11:09 |
| tiagogomes | Even M$! | 11:18 |
| paulsherwood | gtristan: which projectds specifically are not all git? | 11:25 |
| gtristan | Eh ? | 12:20 |
| gtristan | I dont understand | 12:20 |
| gtristan | Which projects dont use git... | 12:20 |
| gtristan | This is a very broad question, rather a better question is; who am I to tell the whole planet to just use git ? | 12:21 |
| gtristan | WebKit is svn | 12:21 |
| gtristan | for a random example | 12:21 |
| ironfoot | indeed, and from the PoV of buildstream, is better to support mirroring to the same VCS, rather than converting to git | 12:25 |
| gtristan | Eeek, yeah one definition of how to build something does not change a tarball into an svn, or a git into a bzr; that would be error prone | 12:27 |
