Re: [Psidev-ms-dev] [Psidev-pi-dev] Bidding farewell to Google Code -- Migrate your projects !

[Mathias W. <wa...@in...>]

Dear all,

I had another project on google code and opted for the migration to github.
So I can shed some light on the up- and downsides of the migration to github which hopefully aids you in evaluating alternatives so we can have a productive discussion in Seattle.

Upside: 
*they adopted the concept of organizations (as meta-account, which can hold several projects/repositories, e.g. PSI-PI/MS containing mzml, mzidentml, mzquantml, cv(!))
*free for open source projects
*using git as repository management software (forking and merging helps maintaining an overview and keeps the master repo clean)
*clean web UI where you can do as much as in google code and more 
 -discussion boards for each merge from a fork('pull request')
 -diff views are very helpful
 -nice issue management, also with integrated discussion board
*quite seamless migration ( without that much effort, once you did it first time ;) )

Downside:
*committers need a github account
*hard file size limitation (<100mb ^§, each repository <1GB)
*wiki-migration does not quite work (psi-pi wiki on gcode is marginal)
*using git as repository management software (needs some getting used to)

hope this helps.
cheers,
 Mathias


§:
I already checked the repository structure of psi-pi (as I was at it anyways) and the files that would have to go (from all revisions) are:
PAnalyzer-v1.1b6_Rosetta-take2.tar
mouse_dataset_-_combination.pia.1.2.mzid
and hard at the limit: MSGFplus_tandem.pia.1.2.mzid

Subject: [Psidev-pi-dev] Bidding farewell to Google Code -- Migrate your	projects !

Hi,

I would like to bring the following (sad) news to you:

	"Google code will be shutting down the service 
	about 10 months from now on January 25th, 2016"

Please check the following post for the full story:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.de/2015/03/farewell-to-google-code.html

There are several projects in Proteomics I am aware of 
that make heavy use of google code platform. 

	PLEASE START THINKING ABOUT THE UNAVOIDABLE MIGRATION NOW !

Sorry for the shouting, but migration is a big task 
and should not be rushed, so please start to think 
about it now, and/or at the HUPO-PSI meeting in Seattle 
next month. 

Yours,
Steffen
