does dmca push us further toward distributed rev control?

[friarsol]

Although I was considering if it would be a good idea to migrate it over to gitorious.

unless it completely sucks, i think it would be best to leave it here. this site seems rather immune to DMCA. maybe we could use it as a distribution point for certain files, or at least a place to link to mediafire or whatever.

Won't get any complaints from me. The heat and humidity here makes me lazy.

I get Auth fail when I try your instructions Rob. I have been messing with this for a few hours today and I think I need a break.

I messed with it for a few hours too before I figured it out. You only need the authorization part for pushing revisions upstream. My hangup on that was not using git as the user name, with SSH as the protocol. gitorious identifies you by your public key, so no other usrname or password is necessary.

Were you able to pull a copy of the code through EGit?

it's currently at https://www.gitorious.org/cardforge/pages/Getting_Started_Guide. however, i am currently making a lot of changes to it, so please don't edit it until i give the all clear. thx.

i am done editing the guide for the evening. anyone who wants to make improvements, have a go!

Apple released their new Lion OS update today. I downloaded and ran the installer. Java is no longer included with the OS installation. I launched Forge which in turn launched System Update.

System Update froze about one third of the way through. After about 30 minutes it quit and I was able to re-start forge to restart the java download + installation.

I started Eclipse and updated. Eclipse now tells me:

Description Resource Path Location Type
The container 'JRE System Library [JVM 1.6.0 (MacOS X Default)]' references non existing library '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks/JavaRuntimeSupport.framework/Resources/Java/JavaRuntimeSupport.jar' ForgeSVN Build path Build Path Problem

`
Things have gone from bad to worse on my side, hope to figure out how to get things working again. My efforts to get Eclipse running under Lion were unsuccessful.

I used my Time Machine backup to revert my computer back to the prior OS Snow Leopard. Everything looks OK except for Eclipse. Now when I start Eclipse I am getting a JVM terminated message. I can run the last Forge Mac OS beta release OK, Eclipse is a no go.

I'm sure it'll take some time to get fully used to git, but I think I've got the push changes to fork, then request upstream thing down. Hopefully, we'll be able to get the less-technical guys back on, so they don't get too antsy as we switch.

you may have to reinstall eclipse. i don't think it's too painful.

I have been playing around with trying to export/import the old issues into Mantis. Here's what I had to do -
Install googlecode-mylyn connector.
Add Task Repository, configure URL and provide username and password (not SVN password, the gmail account password)
Right-click old issue in TaskList, select New -> Clone Task. Dialog pops up.
Select target repository, then select project in that repository.
New task is created, with most of the original data in the right fields, but the Priority field will complain due to Google's priority being "p3" and Mantis expects words like "normal".
Change the category to be appropriate. May need to create some new categories....
Change severity to "feature" if it's a feature request.
Click submit.
Open old issue from google, and change status to Done, to keep your place. Submit that one.

We don't have a lot of open issues, but if someone with nothing but time on their hands could plow through a bunch of them, then Mantis won't look so bleak...

Ok, so I'm a bit late to the party. How do I get added to the project at gitorious.org?

[Rob Cashwalker]

just join gitorious, and through gitorious, PM me or jendave. Then join the Mantis bug tracker at http://cardforge.org/bugz

Thank you for the suggestion.

I reinstalled Eclipse and Subclipse. My two workspaces are still usable. I re-imported the ForgeSVN project using the head version on googlecode. So far things look OK.

[Chris H.]

now that we've migrated away from google code, do we have a wiki anywhere? i'd like to write some howto documents and let others edit them. this forum does not lend itself well to that.

omgzbbq! thank you!!!!!! i can't edit it. oh well.

Try signing in using the same name and password that you would use for CCGH forums.

Now install EGit, it should be included in the built-in eclipse update sites, so just put it in the search box under "Install New Software".

[Chris H.]

Find EGit in the eclipse "Help -> Install New Software" function. Install, restart eclipse.

`
I selected the eclipse "Help -> Install New Software" function. I can not find the EGit entry. I have a text box that allows me to:

type or select a site
--All Available Sites--
The Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5
Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo

`
None of the four entries above include EGit from what I can see. I selected each of the four entries and looked at the name + URLs and none match.

There is a button named "Add..." Does anyone have the EGit URL that I would need to create an entry in this listing?

[Rob Cashwalker]

Select "All Available Sites" then in the text box below that, filter for "EGit". It's listed under the "Collaboration" branch.

Hmm, with "EGit" as a filter nothing is listed. Under collaboration without filtering I get:
