Re: [Condor-devel] github revisited.



Hi,

As I stated the first time around (I think), I think we cover lots of the use cases with a read-only mirror of Condor on github, plus training committers how to commit pull requests to the main repo (as opposed to committing them to the mirror).  Having a read-only mirror on github helps the project's visibility, but still allows a private UW branch for the "security embargo" model.

I'd say that pull requests are quite compelling, but not compelling enough to do an overnight switch.

I agree the CVSTrac interface has a retro 1998 feel, but modulo a volunteer to port things over to another system, it's what we have for now.  While broken, it's not broken enough to burn it down ... yet.
