Stefan's approach has my vote. Keep <= 7.0 on lauchpad and use github for >= 8.0. 


Cheers,

Hi Joël, 

Maybe I don't understand, but having one addon per repo does that mean that when an API change requires a change in all the banking addons (for instance), that I have to make a pull request for all those repos? 

I'd be in favour of keeping OCA projects in bzr for 7.0 and in GitHub for 8.0. Should be less work for everybody. Just because OpenERP SA causes this overnight disruptive change does not mean that the OCA has to follow. Or does the app store not support Launchpad anymore either? 

Cheers, 
Stefan.

Dear community, 


After the announcement of the brand new odoo instead of OpenERP, the main changes for contributors currently is the switch to Github. As I know, most 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 :) 




Best regards, 



Joël
