| | Moved to: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/source-git/ |
| | |
| We are tracking the project in this github repository: [https://github.com/user-cont/source-git user-cont/source-git].
| |
| | |
| === What and why? ===
| |
| | |
| * Our intent is to bring downstream and upstream communities closer: provide feedback from downstream to upstream. (e.g. ''"Hello \<upstream project Y>, your newest release doesn't work in Fedora rawhide, it breaks \<Z>, here is a link to logs."'')
| |
| | |
| * One of the implications is that it's trivial to propose changes back to upstream or cherry-pick fixes from upstream to downstream.
| |
| | |
| * One of the targeted outcomes is stability: only merge, build and compose components which integrate well with the rest of the operating system. The biggest impact of such behavior will be on Fedora rawhide and when working on a new release.
| |
| | |
| * Developing in dist-git is cumbersome. Editing patch files and moving tarballs around is not fun. Why not working with the source code itself? With source git, you'll have an upstream repository and the dist-git content stuffed in a dedicated directory.
| |
| | |
| * Let's use modern development techniques such as pull requests, code review, modern git forges, automation and continuous integration. We have computers to do all the mundane tasks. Why we, as humans, should do such work?
| |
| | |
| * We want dist-git to be "a database of content in a release" rather a place to do actual work. On the other hand, you'll still be able to interact with dist-git the same way. We are not taking that away. Source git is meant to be the modern, better alternative.
| |
| | |
| * Automatically pull and validate new upstream releases. This can be a trivial thing to do, why should maintainers waste their times on work which can be automated.

| === Current status ===
| |
| | |
| Right now we are aiming for a proof of concept. Once it's done, we'll create a demo and present it at [https://devconf.cz DevConf.cz].
| |
| | |
| We understand this page is pretty concise. Once we have more information to share (especially when the PoC is done), we'll update this wiki page. In the meantime, please check out the [https://github.com/user-cont/source-git github repo] for an up to date information.
