Re: OCA LP Project migration to Github

 

Dear community,

I know many are eager to change vcs but please give everyone time to insert this in their already too small timetables. Probably we at Numerigraphe will stick to Launchpad for as long as we can because use bzr all the way though to production servers. We can't afford to switch now. If you do migrate v7 to github, pleaseset up "upstream branches" on launchpad, this way LP will pull the new commits itself.

Regarding v8, I don't understand how it's better to have a myriad of small unconnected repositories instead of one cleanly organized tree. If we instead merged all OCA projects into one branch like Odoo did, it would be easier for new contributers. I for one spent hours searching for which project had which module in Launchpad. OCA must eventually become a large code-base (linux-size large would not surprise me): does it help if we spread it all over the place?

Some claim each OCA project has it's own very small community: but wasn't OCA about uniting? And it won't be extra-addons again - that was a savage dump, and OCA is cleanly organized. Git wizards say it's easy to rebase the subtrees' staged unpulled remote into the master out-of-index sub-ether-spacial workflow, but for the rest of us, I beg you to make it simple.

Lionel Sausin.
