Switching Moodle main code repository to Git
From MoodleDocs
Necessary changes on moodle.org servers
- stop automatic weekly tagging and daily version commits in CVS
- stop automatic cvs.moodle.org --> git.moodle.org export
- take away all CVS write access from main CVS moodle module at cvs.moodle.org (keep all contrib and lang modules unchanged) - only moodlerobot will have access
- make binary snapshot from git cvshead to CVS HEAD - override CVS checkout with files from current cvshead Git branch
- branch MOODLE_20_STABLE from HEAD in CVS
- tag 2.0 in CVS
- create new master branch from cvshead in git.moodle.org
- create new MOODLE_20_STABLE branch form master in git.moodle.org
- tag 2.0 in git.moodle.org
- delete old cvshead branch in Git (the master is the correct name now)
- set up git commit hooks that push mirrors to Github and Gitorious from git.moodle.org (all 4 branches, we need to set up keys for the moodlerobot)
- set up git commit hook that triggers export to CVS commit mirror (all 4 branches, we need to tweak the PHP script and keys for CVS commit access)
- give git write access to sam, eloy, martin, skodak on git.moodle.org/moodle.git
- configure jira to track git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git
Next steps
- set up integration git repo at git.moodle.org/integration.git
- give git write access to sam, eloy, martin and skodak on git.moodle.org/integration.git
- configure jira to track git://git.moodle.org/integration.git
- set up 3 QA moodle sites on top of the integration git repo
