Post by PaweÅ MiechHello Amber,
Post by Amber "Hawkie" Brownwe've moved to https://github.com/twisted/twisted as our
"authoritative" mirror.
are there any consequences of this for Twisted users and/or casual
contributors? I used github source for a while not knowing it was not
"authortiative" mirror, it always seemed fresh and updated.
The git mirror has been updated from the Subversion repository on commit
for quite a while, so it was up to date, it just wasn't the correct place
for committers to push changes to; this is what has changed now.
I just got done editing a bunch of the wiki pages about the development
process, primarily https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedDevelopment â
so hopefully it should be clearer how to proceed now.
Post by PaweÅ MiechI remember some discussion on mailing list about moving issue tracking to
github, is today's migration part of this process? Are there plans to
accept pull requests on github?
The main remaining problem with pull requests is that a committer has to
push a branch to the main repository in order to run builds on the
buildbots; this is due to issues around executing arbitrary code on the
buildbots. Thus a PR-based workflow for non-committers currently doesn't
make much sense.
Issue tracking remains on Trac, at least for the forseeable future
(implementing our workflow with GitHub issues is quite challenging).
