#37 Convert repository to git

[Hartmut Goebel]

Please convert the repository to git - this would allow decentralieces, lightweigt development.

You can you esr's great tool "reposurgen" for this which will keep all commit history, banches and merges. I successfully converted several quite complex repositories from svn tu git usind reposurgen.

If you like, I'd volunteer doing this and uploading the git-repo to nognu.org.

I maintain a mirror here:
https://github.com/jeromerobert/pdfshuffler
It contains sources from here (sourceforge) and the one which were on gna.org. Unfortunnatly this is currently a personnal and not official initiative.

EDIT: hum you actually already knows it.

Hi Jerome,

please keep up your github mirror. I don't think that I have a backup of the gna repo elsewhere. Great that you had cloned the repo before gna went down.

I am still reluctant to continue the hosting at SF because of the too many wrongs of the previous owner.

I would rather prefer to transfer your git repo to an official one under:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pdfshuffler/

Anyway the version control system is not the most important thing. If there is anyone who would like to join and contribute to the project, please let me know. I have a list of things to fix before a new version can be released. I just don't have the time to implement them.

The git-repo at github seems to be a valid conversion to git. Closing this ticket.

[Hartmut Goebel]

Oh, I can't close the ticket. @logari81: Please close it.
