> After the announcement of the brand new odoo instead of OpenERP, the main

> of you waited for such a move ! Now it's done :) Though it remain a quite
> huge question : How the hell do we, as the community, will manage this
> switch ?
>
> I know there is lots of side questions (like making one repository per
> module, using subtree and many more). I see those options:
>
> a) Move all projects from LP to Github, but only the 7.0 series to create
> only the master branch. Every devs should create the pull request needed if
> they want their LP MP to be shown as pull request on github. Then for serie
> 8.0, we start with one repo by module (as in option c):
>
> + => one LP project = one github project, Easy, quick,simple to
> understand, only "still active" MP will be ported by each devs
> - => Every devs will have to rebuild the pull request, loss of review
> infos in the pull request (though people can copy/paste the link to LP)
>
>
> b) Move all projects from LP to Github and try to take all branches
> related to a project using [1], create the master branch from the 7.0
> series. Then all devs will have to take back his branch, branch by branch,
> in his own name (that process [1] was use to move openstack to github).
> Then for serie 8.0, we start with one repo by module (as in option c):
>
> + => one LP project = one github project, Keep all branches of all projects
> - => Doesn't help to take back the MP as pull request, will let lots of
> "obsolete" branches

> c) Try to immediately split repository to have one repo by module, all
> owned by the OCA project (only one project, many, many repos). Just making
> one repo by module. Then we can have those many repos grouped by topic
> using submodule (here an example:
> https://github.com/camptocamp/puppet-modules). By topic I mean "Apps"
> (like sale, purchase, ..).
>
> + => We have one repo by module and start "clean" on github
> - => Not that easy to split, not clear exactly how to do that, we have the
> risk that by the time we figure that out we remain on LP for quite a while,
> change the architecture and tools all at once.

> My suggestion to allow a fast move forward is option a) as the following:
>
> 1) Take all OCA projects on LP and create one under the OCA umbrella on
> github
> 2) Then I suggest to create the master branch on Github from the 7.0
> series on LP. Older one remain on LP only.
> 3) All current MPs must be made as pull request by his owner on GitHub to
> be merged.
> 4) All the 7.0 series starts on Github as soon as we have build them all
> (should not take more than 1 or 2 days to achieve. The older one (5, 6,
> 6.1) remain on LP.
> 5) For 8.0, we starts creating all needed sub-module repo
>
> Mains args:
>
>  * Easy and fast
>  * Make a "smooth" transition as projects are kept, "just" moved on github
>  * Avoid having old MP or obsolete branches in the OCA umbrella
>  * For 7.0 serie we have everything on github, so we avoid working with
> both git and bzr
>  * For older serie we keep all on bzr, while future v8.0 will have a clean
> one repo by module solution
>
>
> Who's in favor of which option here (a,b,c) ? Any others I missed ?
>
>
> Thanks for your vote ! Please try to be as short as possible on your
> answer, so we can see who's voting for which option :)
