Thanks for this detailed reply, I always think that 2 VCS and 1 repo is too big, curb the developpment of Fog and is not easy to manage. I understand your position and it’s up to you to choose how you want to work so there is no good or bad solutions, I’ve created this topic in order to start a discussion about the project management and how to improve it.

Tom, for the learning of git I’ve some ressources that you can link if you choose to move to git one a day. It’s not hard as you can think you just need to forget about how svn run but after you’ve switched to git getting back to svn could be hard

Romain.

But still there are a copy of the repo in github it’s way some of the main dev work I assume. It could be interesting to have the main dev opinion.

I know that it’s not a program feature or a thing that can be considered as improvement in short-term, but I think that changing the actual workflow could improve the quality of the software. But anyway it’s my own opinion and like you said VincentJ different people can have different ways of working. I just think that contributing to Fog seems not easy at the moment and it’s a shame because it could improve it.

Good to see it exist ! But I think it is underused, imho it could be better to have a better organisation and separation of the different bloc of the project instead of rassembling all of them in one repository. For example we could have an Fog Organisation with the following repositories :

• web-ui
• FOGCrypt
• FOGPrep
• FOGBackup
  …

All bugs and feature request could be asked from the github issue system. This would bring better organisation and separation. The organisation could let multiple contributors and the pull request system will allow anyone to improve the actual code.

To make this happen, I think it’s necessary to forget about svn and sourceforge and use a unique channel for bug and request issues.

What do you think about this ?

Hello,

As it is my first post here, let me thank you for all you great work.

I’ve search a little bit but can not found any subject about using git instead of svn, and why not switching from sourceforge to github ? You can create a Fog organisation and create multiple repository (one for each things)

The idea is to improve the contribution of the community and improve bug/features management by using respectively pull request and issues.
