does dmca push us further toward distributed rev control?

[Rob Cashwalker]

I have generated the ssh keys, put the public one up on the site and pointed Eclipse to my private one.

Selected the ssh mode, gave it my gitorious username of RobCashwalker.

Right now I'm just trying to work against my cloned repository on their side.

edit - F'ing A!!!!!
FINALLY got it. I regenerated the keys, but that didn't help. I tried a bunch of usernames, but that didn't help. I finally copied my repository URL from the site and realized the username should be "git", no password.

While I see the main project lists revisions from earlier in the week, it's missing everything from Thursday PM till now. I was trying to use the git svn command line tools to pull the current SVN from Google, but it failed miserably, and I had an empty folder after letting it run overnight.

It created pretty smoothly for me. I haven't used git at all so I'll probably need to read a primer for how merging and these cloned trees work, and what that means for my workflow. Is this going to be difficult for the non-technical people who script cards to move over?

[Rob Cashwalker]

It was fairly straight-forward to download the initial clone, the harder part was figuring out the commiting part.

[jeffwadsworth]

I am sure non-technical commit cats would be fine with a simple HOWTO similar to the one that Chris set up for Eclipse/Subversion.

Hehe, I just collected the info passed on by Dennis and Silly Freak and put it all together in a single message where other people could find it.

Ahem, I may need help getting this set up also.

Find EGit in the eclipse "Help -> Install New Software" function. Install, restart eclipse. Then do "File -> Import...", select "Git -> Projects from Git". Click "Clone". The URI is "git@gitorious.org:cardforge/cardforge.git", then just "Next" and "Finish" until it's copied down.

To be able to commit to the main project, you'll need to create an account with them and then get added to the dev team. Then use eclipse to generate the SSH keys, the public one needs to be pasted into your account details on the site.

Probably a bit too rough for a proper tutorial..

Snacko and jendave -
How are you folks transferring the latest SVN commits?

jendave - how might this affect the maven builds? Obviously no more auto-upload to google..

Reading their blog, gitorious recently revised their Terms of Service which may not protect us afterall. Sony killed some projects which were based on circumventing Playstation copy protections. While the gitorious team felt that Norwegian law may have allowed the project to continue, they weren't about to fight it on behalf of the project, so they went ahead with the removal.

Hurgh, seems like I'll have to move back to Eclipse for this.. IDEA and git doesn't seem to work very well together. That, and I can't seem to actually find the project on gitorious >_> Nevermind me,just being retarded.I'll have to come back to bludgeoning IDEA into submission though.

I use msysgit + tortoiseGit instead of the Eclipse plugin if you are attached to IDEA.

I am trying to get the SVN commits in. I currently use git-svn to download all the commits locally. I am doing something wrong when I push them up the gitorious because it keeps warning me about conflicts. I am researching the best way to transfer it over.

Regarding builds, the google upload was easy. I'll just disable it. We will have to find a new place.

[Braids]

are we going to wait for the google svn to be shut down before we make an official transfer? either way, please let me know when i should stop using svn.

edit 1: maybe we should make wotc's lawyers work for it, that is, to wait to move.

[Rob Cashwalker]

Braids, new avatar?

jendave, I can provide an FTP login for cardforge.org, if the build script can handle that.

I think it's just a matter of time before the main google code project would get the same treatment.. I'd still like to know if there was any more specific complaint about Rare's personal project.

If all the devs can try to get onboard with gitorious, then how about we switch by Wednesday?

[Braids]

Braids, new avatar?

yes, i've been changing them every few days. i'm surprised you've just now noticed. i have two from Skulltap, two from Braids, Cabal Minion, one from Braids, Conjurer Adept (from Future Sight), and one from Blackmail. i didn't care for the Vanguard versions of Braids, Conjurer Adept. she looks too young and novice in the 2D version, and too blocky in the 3D version.

well, i will say with certainty that res/mtg-data.txt could be a real problem. it's the most blatant derivation we have of wotc's "property."

ah, a date. i should have time to fiddle with it by then.

edit : maybe we could find a way to distribute this outside of the source repository? like, say, from this message board?
edit : i also have an avatar from Bosom Buddy. there was a big loxodon tusk in the frame that i edited out.

The average user doesn't need it,really, only devs and people who want to keep track of their favourite set and for them it can be a separate download, like it was from the beginning.

I'm onboard. Maybe not quite as quick but still.

I use msysgit + tortoiseGit instead of the Eclipse plugin if you are attached to IDEA.

I've used these tools to make a Personal clone (is there any reason for doing this?) and setting up my local branch.

I have two questions:
1. Which Remote URL should I use to commit changes?

2. Do I need developer status?

InteliJ IDEA has git support http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/ ... ntrol.html
You can also use http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/ which is currently the best in my opinion GUI on windows for git.

1) SSH url is needed for pushing
2) I suppose if you want to push to the main repository and not only your clone + merge request
