Hi all,<br>
<br>
As you'll all be aware we are currently in the process of overhauling<br>
our Git infrastructure, and replacing numerous elements of it.<br>
<br>
The first part of this will take place this weekend - with<br>
<a href="http://projects.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">projects.kde.org</a> being shutdown. All Git repository browsing from that<br>
point on should take place through <a href="http://quickgit.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">quickgit.kde.org</a>. <a href="http://commits.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">commits.kde.org</a><br>
will also be reconfigured to redirect you exclusively to<br>
<a href="http://quickgit.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">quickgit.kde.org</a>.<br>
<br>
As a result the tree structure will only be available from the XML<br>
file from this point onward. There are no plans to replicate the tree<br>
structure within Phabricator (although some of the grouping it<br>
facilitates may be provided through a different mechanism)<br>
<br>
The XML file upon which numerous utilities (including kdesrc-build)<br>
depend will continue to be made available. It will instead be<br>
generated by a Python script periodically, based on the contents of a<br>
Git repository.<br>
<br>
In terms of Reviewboard, there are no plans to import it's contents<br>
into Phabricator, as the level of effort required is too high. Once we<br>
are migrated to Phabricator for reviews, i'm proposing that everyone<br>
has 4 weeks to finish any final reviews up within Reviewboard before<br>
it is set to read only by disabling login for everyone. Reviews still<br>
open at that point would be discarded.<br>
<br>
The contents of Kanboard will be migrated into Phabricator, more<br>
details will come on that over the next few weeks, including details<br>
of any action people needs to take. As an immediate measure it would<br>
be appreciated if people could conduct a general cleanup and remove<br>
tasks and boards they have no intention of using or revisiting in the<br>
future. Following this migration Kanboard will be shutdown.<br>
<br>
In terms of repositories, now would be a good time to look into the<br>
scratch and clone repositories you have on <a href="http://git.kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">git.kde.org</a> and perform a<br>
cleanup of any repositories which are unused, not useful or are<br>
otherwise no longer needed.<br>
<br>
We will be looking into how to import our repositories into<br>
Phabricator which will include all scratch and clone repositories.<br>
This means the entire content of these repositories will be indexed,<br>
and reducing the number of repositories will reduce the amount of<br>
indexing work which Phabricator needs to complete.<br>
<br>
I should also note that as a side affect of the Phabricator<br>
transition, scratch/clone repositories will to a certain extent cease<br>
to exist - everything will now be a mainline repository. As a<br>
consequence force pushes will be disabled for all repositories as part<br>
of the migration (including scratch repositories). We will be creating<br>
a mechanism which will allow repositories following certain naming<br>
conventions to be easily created by developers (although this will<br>
have to be done through the web interface).<br>
<br>
As part of the capabilities of Phabricator, sysadmin will also be<br>
extending the power to create general purpose mainline repositories<br>
(and certain other actions within Phabricator) to a number of<br>
community members. They will be contacted individually over the next<br>
month or two regarding this.<br>
<br>
Comments on the above are welcome (little is in concrete yet), please<br>
start them in appropriate sub-threads on kde-core-devel (to minimize<br>
cross-posting, etc).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Ben Cooksley<br>
KDE Sysadmin<br>
