Description
This is just a proposal!
The idea is that the development and improvement of bazaar is not reliable anymore. See for this:
- https://www.stationary-traveller.eu/pages/bzr-a-retrospective.html
- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2012q4/075390.html
- Even Launchpad are now offering git repositories as well: https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git
In 2009, we actually initially used Git for hosting the source code of OpenPetra! We still have some documentation for that in the wiki:
TODO
- Costs of hosting a private repository of git on Launchpad, github and on other available git hosting platforms need to be looked at.
- Investigate how Launchpad Git repositories work. Investigate if Github, other git hosting platforsm or own hosted gitlab is more suitable.
- see https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git
- investigate the varying features these hosting platforms have to offer
- Integrate git in VisualStudio and SharpDevelop
- Document conversion from bzr to git and keeping the history. see http://www.pokorra.de/2013/10/mirror-a-bazaar-repository-from-launchpad-to-github/
- Jenkins: use git instead of bzr
- nant: changes to import translations
- nant: changes to use current bzr version number in the petra client
- Time estimation for switch over
- document benefits of a switch over
