Hi,
Adam Šamalík took dist-git files from fedora-infra ansible.git. He
separated what belongs to dist-git itself and what is Fedora specific
and with cooperation of Dan Mach and Palo Babinčák he created
upstream for dist-git:
https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git
This is first attempt and request for comments.
Great idea/work. ;)
The changes from ansible.git version are described here:
https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git/blob/master/changes.txt
and he extracted some code to be configuration driven:
https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git/blob/master/configs/dist-...
Feel free to experiment with this project and we are looking for your
questions and comments.
Will try and find time to do so.
I have one question thou:
There is no license information in files header but two files:
scripts/httpd/upload.cgi - GPLv1
scripts/dist-git/pkgdb_sync_git_branches.py - GPLv2+
Everything else is without license.
All the work in the ansible repo should be covered under the FPCA, so
without any explicit license I would think it would be MIT. We could
see about getting a list of folks who worked on it and getting them to
put it under GPLv2+ if you like. Or we could just stay with MIT?
Can I assume that we can realease the code under GPLv2+?
The author of upload.cgi seems to be Kevin F. - Kevin, are you
willing to change license your file to GPLv2+ so we have uniform
license across all files?
I did not author that file. ;)
It was written by Jesse Keating in 2010. We could try and contact him I
suppose?
Future plans:
1) Listen to your initial feedback and do alternations according to
your feedback 2) After license clarification, announce this project
to Red Hat and CentOS rel-engs and ask them to merge their changes of
dist-git to this upstream. 3) Get this package into Fedora
distribution 4) Change Fedora dist-git server to use this package.
....
10) Enjoy the benefits of common upstream.
:) Excellent.
