If you want to participate inside of of a given project then you will lower the amount of friction by following the established best practices which include coding style and collaborative infrastructure use.<br /><br />I look forward to the day when launchpad grows the ability to interact with git as a competitive option with bzr. That would be an interesting realization of Shuttleworth's own interest in seeing technologies "compete" inside the Canonical controlled walled garden that is launchpad.<br /><br />-jefJef Spaletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439754449677675460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298278771907154708.post-62375937536655293932011-03-14T14:42:16.556-02:302011-03-14T14:42:16.556-02:30@Anonymous: Actually Launchpad !~ git, the more ac...@Anonymous: Actually Launchpad !~ git, the more accurate would be bzr.<br /><br />Launchpad is actually a very AWESOME application, and much of my development would have not been as easy without it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350580894740119873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298278771907154708.post-69548607375148121942011-03-14T14:33:53.467-02:302011-03-14T14:33:53.467-02:30@Martin: replace 'git' with 'launchpad...@Martin: replace 'git' with 'launchpad', and 'Gnome' with 'Canonical' ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298278771907154708.post-49565050091440466732011-03-14T13:30:15.161-02:302011-03-14T13:30:15.161-02:30It's not really about git, it's about usin...It's not really about git, it's about using GNOME infrastructure.<br /><br />When a GNOME developer is given access to the GNOME revision control system (back when it was CVS, SVN or now git), he or she can commit to any GNOME module at all. It fosters collaboration across the entire GNOME stack. If parts of that stack are hosted elsewhere, more work is required to find them, gain access, request a merge or commit directly, etc.<br /><br />That's only one example of why using GNOME infrastructure has historically been important, but you raised the revision control system, so I answered in that context. :-)Jeff Waughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106211344687154746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298278771907154708.post-42360251337002227442011-03-14T13:22:21.602-02:302011-03-14T13:22:21.602-02:30I wonder what the obsession is with git.

It's like a religion, you're not allowed to use anything but git and if you fail to use and follow the git, then you are not worthy.<br /><br />Give me a break.<br /><br />That's exactly the kind of insular attitude that is a problem in Gnome.Martin Owenshttp://doctormo.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298278771907154708.post-68913076578572868072011-03-14T13:11:38.516-02:302011-03-14T13:11:38.516-02:30Howdy.

There will be another in the series that goes into more detail about the process, and why libappindicator didn't really fit in with... well, anything at all.<br /><br />All of the GNOME release process stuff is documented on the GNOME wiki:<br /><br />http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanningJeff Waughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106211344687154746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298278771907154708.post-85170397175400001782011-03-14T12:58:23.880-02:302011-03-14T12:58:23.880-02:30Jef Spaleta and Jeff Waugh have both posted simila...Jef Spaleta and Jeff Waugh have both posted similar details and, seemingly, not been heard but now Dave Neary has given the process details to Mark Shuttleworth in exacting detail.<br /><br />http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/661#comment-347596<br /><br />All that is left is for people, on all sides, to actually follow these processes.<br /><br />N.B. It has also been stated, on numerous occasions, that to work well with any project you ned to adopt the tools and processes that that project already uses...so GIT not launchpad and publicly archived discussion and debate not clandestine meetings and private email.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660182111237652420noreply@blogger.com
