My main concern with using github is that the bridge between svn and git may or may not be easy to learn. I tried the procedure you describe in the wiki and it was painfully slow on import. I didn't know that you kept it up to date, because last time I checked it was out of date.
Is it possible as a commiter to use a single local git repository that can be used for both the official svn (for commits) and also in github (to interact with other contributors)? >From your instructions it looks doable, but can you push and pull to the github repos, and then commit changes back to gdal svn? If that's easy then I would definitely use that approach instead of svn sandbox. regards, Etienne On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 3:16 PM, Mateusz Loskot <mate...@loskot.net> wrote: > On 06/10/11 19:07, Frank Warmerdam wrote: >> On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 11:50 PM, Antonio Valentino >> <antonio.valent...@tiscali.it> wrote: >>> Anyway I think that the possibility of maintaining an official mirror >>> of GDAL on a Git or Mercurial repository should be considered and >>> contributors should be encouraged to use it. >>> >>> Here it is an unofficial mirror >>> >>> https://github.com/mloskot/gdal >>> >>> and a wiki page about the topic on the GDAL trac >>> >>> http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/UsingGitToMaintainGDALWorkflow >> >> Antonio, >> >> If it was to be made "official" it would need an RFC.
