[jira] [Commented] (JDO-770) Switch from svn to git
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16783083#comment-16783083 ]
Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-770:
------------------------------------
Why is the website not on GitHub under a simple "website" directory? Then people can commit updates to the website from the same source code host (and then have to do the manual update of the website).
Better still would be (to do the above and then) for someone to enquire at Apache if it is possible to do auto-publishing of a website from a GitHub directory, e.g by running a cron job on some Apache box to build and publish the website. I've been doing this for years with DataNucleus and it means I never have to faff about with publishing, just commit the docs updates into GitHub and they appear on the website overnight.
Further to that, and in reply to the Wiki question, has anyone looked at that Wiki in years? It is totally out of date. Users, in general, don't contribute to Wikis; we abandoned the DataNucleus one a few years back, and just encouraged people to provide GitHub pull requests to the docs. One less thing to maintain that way.

> Key: JDO-770
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-770
> Project: JDO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: site and infrastructure
> Affects Versions: JDO 3.1
> Reporter: Michael Bouschen
> Assignee: Craig L Russell
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: JDO 3.2
>
>
> We should consider switching from svn to git. The reason to make jdo available via git is to remove a possible barrier to new contributors.
> There are several alternatives if we decide to offer git as an alternative to svn:
> * migrating all the code to git
> * creating a read-only git mirror
> * creating a read-write bridge.
> See [Git at Apache | https://git.apache.org/] for more details.
