Proposal
A proposal to see uPortal's
...
source
...
code
...
moved
...
to
...
git
...
and
...
hosted
...
on
...
GitHub.
...
There
...
have
...
been
...
quite
...
a
...
few
...
folks
...
that
...
have
...
been
...
working
...
on
...
uPortal
...
4,
...
uMobile
...
or
...
are
...
otherwise
...
interested
...
that
...
have
...
asked
...
about
...
using
...
git.
...
After
...
looking
...
into
...
it
...
a
...
bit
...
more
...
I
...
think
...
it
...
would
...
be
...
a
...
very
...
valuable
...
change
...
for
...
uPortal.
...
For
...
those
...
not
...
familiar
...
Git
...
is
...
a
...
distributed
...
source
...
control
...
tool.
...
What
...
that
...
means
...
is
...
there
...
is
...
no
...
true
...
central
...
repository
...
like
...
there
...
is
...
with
...
SVN.
...
Developers
...
don't
...
really
...
checkout
...
some
...
version
...
of
...
the
...
code,
...
they
...
clone
...
the
...
entire
...
project
...
when
...
doing
...
work.
...
That
...
doesn't
...
prevent
...
the
...
convention
...
of
...
a
...
central
...
repository
...
which
...
is
...
what
...
a
...
site
...
like
...
GitHub
...
provides.
...
A
...
place
...
to
...
host
...
a
...
clone
...
of
...
the
...
project
...
that
...
by
...
convention
...
we
...
agree
...
is
...
the
...
master
...
copy
...
of
...
the
...
project.
...
GitHub
...
adds
...
some
...
very
...
nice
...
social-coding
...
aspects
...
to
...
git.
...
Primarily
...
it
...
provides
...
a
...
VERY
...
easy
...
interface
...
that
...
allows
...
anyone
...
to
...
clone
...
a
...
project,
...
make
...
changes
...
and
...
commit
...
them
...
to
...
their
...
clone,
...
then
...
make
...
a
...
pull
...
request
...
on
...
the
...
master
...
project.
...
Once
...
that
...
has
...
happened
...
a
...
simple
...
click
...
of
...
a
...
button
...
is
...
all
...
it
...
takes
...
for
...
any
...
developer
...
with
...
commit
...
access
...
on
...
the
...
master
...
to
...
accept
...
the
...
changes
...
and
...
merge
...
them
...
in.
...
This
...
process
...
makes
...
it
...
very
...
easy
...
for
...
people
...
without
...
direct
...
commit
...
access
...
to
...
commit
...
changes
...
that
...
are
...
reviewed
...
by
...
a
...
core
...
developer
...
before
...
merging
...
in
...
and
...
significantly
...
simplifies
...
the
...
work
...
of
...
the
...
core
...
developers.
...
When
...
there
...
was
...
first
...
talk
...
among
...
about
...
switching
...
I
...
solicited
...
feedback
...
from
...
the
...
Fluid
...
project
...
which
...
recently
...
moved
...
from
...
SVN
...
to
...
Git.
...
I
...
highly
...
recommend
...
reading
...
the
...
resulting
...
thread
...
which
...
highlights
...
a
...
lot
...
of
...
the
...
pros
...
and
...
cons
...
http://old.nabble.com/Perspectives-on-Git-td31852449.html
...
There
...
is
...
an
...
eclipse
...
Git
...
Plugin,
...
a
...
TortiseGit
...
client
...
which
...
is
...
a
...
clone
...
of
...
TortiseSVN
...
and
...
I
...
believe
...
most
...
other
...
IDEs
...
have
...
either
...
built
...
in
...
or
...
plugin
...
support
...
for
...
git.

Migration Details
- The entire history of uPortal including all maintenance branches would be copied to GitHub, all new development and maintenance would take place via git.
- The uPortal code in subversion at source.jasig.org
...
- would
...
- be
...
- left
...
- in
...
- place.
...
- The
...
- entire
...
- /uPortal
...
- directory
...
- would
...
- be
...
- made
...
- read-only
...
- and
...
- no
...
- further
...
- updates
...
- would
...
- be
...
- done
...
- in
...
- SVN.
...
- Optionally
...
- the
...
- /uPortal
...
- directory
...
- would
...
- be
...
- deleted
...
- allowing
...
- for
...
- access
...
- to
...
- specific
...
- revisions
...
- but
...
- reducing
...
- confusion
...
- for
...
- people
...
- new
...
- to
...
- the
...
- project
...
- looking
...
- for
...
- the
...
- uPortal
...
- source
...
- code.
...
- The
...
- documentation
...
- and
...
- manual
...
- content
...
- included
...
- in
...
- the
...
- uPortal
...
- source
...
- code
...
- in
...
- early
...
- versions
...
- of
...
- uPortal
...
- 2
...
- would
...
- be
...
- filtered
...
- out
...
- in
...
- the
...
- migration
...
- to
...
- reduce
...
- the
...
- git
...
- repository
...
- size.
...
Test
...
Migration
...
A
...
test
...
migration
...
of
...
the
...
uPortal
...
source
...
code
...
has
...
been
...
completed
...
and
...
is
...
available:
...
https://github.com/edalquist/uPortal-GitTest
...
If
...
anyone
...
would
...
like
...
access
...
to
...
play
...
with
...
this
...
throw-away
...
repository
...
...
...
...
.
Concerns
- Developer Familiarity
- Primary concern with speed for applying critical fixes for a 4.0.1
...
- release
...
- svn:externals
...
- Used
...
- by
...
- some
...
- deployers
...
- as
...
- an
...
- alternative
...
- to
...
- a
...
- vendor
...
- drop
...
- import
...
Audiences
Active Committers
The folks that have had a commit to uPortal in the last 6 months.
Non-Committers Contributors
Folks that are providing patches but don't have commit access.
uPortal Deployers
People that use the uPortal SVN repository as a source for local deployments.
Username Mapping
For the final migration a mapping of Subversion usernames to GitHub usernames is needed to retain as much history as possible.
