We have packages, and we have software ( or +assimilated ). + +For packages : + +Let's imagine that we import the svn, with history. +If I look at the svn changelog, how do I know that dams is not the +same ? + +And now, the tricky part : +since the changelog of rpm is created by looking at the changelog, and +since the changelog serve as de facto copyright notice for rpm, how can +we ensure they are properly generated ? + +For our case, we are lucky since the plan is to import srpm, and so the +changelog from the srpm will be imported, and kept in svn to be readded +to the new rpm once we modify it ( completed with the generated rpm +changelog by using svn changelog ). + +So no problem ( if changelog is complete of course, and I am not sure it +is, we need to check this ). + +( I know, all of that to say there is no problem. ) + + +For software ( or assimilated, ie everything non related to rpm packages +that is a text file stored in svn ) : +For this, no rpm changelog involved. Maybe no changelog file either, +depending on the software. +It used to be written from the svn/cvs changelog for some software, +maybe blino can tell us more about it. + +So if we want to be clean, we should ensure that copyright notice are up +to date in every source file before import, because we will not be able +to do that later by relying on svn. + + +><i> > So, how could we do ? +</I>><i> > ( I think we could rename upon import, I guess ). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> We can do that? (reattributing to <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">dams at mandriva</A> for "old" dams) +</I> +Depend on how we reimport, but yes, I think that tailor could do it. + +That also mean that we may also monitor incoming account creation to +prevent the problem from happening again in the future. + +Ie, what if someone create a account eugeni while not being the same as +Mandriva ? Would it have a impact ( besides statistics among others ) ? + +We can decide to reserve some accounts to give it back to mandriva +people. + +We could suffix every account when we import svn history ( except that +most people have kept the same user name so we could suffix unless +people have kept the same account ). + +Or we could always use option 3, ignore it. + +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000826.html">[Mageia-sysadm] something to not forget in case of svn import +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000815.html">[Mageia-sysadm] progress of the night +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#829">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#829">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#829">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#829">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">More information about the Mageia-sysadm +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
