Description Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Hi,

GMN currently uses the http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/src/gwn/ repository in CVS. Would it be possible to shutdown this repository (I could commit a plain README file pointing people to the new one) and create a gmn.git one in git.overlays.gentoo.org?

All developers should have read/write access.

Thanks in advance.

Markos, did anyone handle your request? Are you still interested in this?

No, nobody did

I definitely want to use git over cvs. I was actually planning to create my own on github this afternoon.

Ok, so please provide me:

1. the repo name (proj/gmn?),

2. who should have RW+ access?,

3. owner name and e-mail (gmn@?),

4. description,

5. whether commits to the repo are to go to gentoo-commits@.

That's fine.

Can you also shutdown the old CVS one so we don't get confused and commit into two places?

Thanks

git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gmn.git

Please confirm that it works fine.

As for CVS, I have been given only gitolite permissions. However, since that is a directory in generic gentoo CVS repository, I don't think it can be really shut down. Just remove all the files once you move them :).
