ChucK GitHub
by Remi Gillig 14 Feb '12

Hello all, It's not that I don't like SVN but there are cool alternatives for open source projects now. So I put ChucK on GitHub, I dream that you would adopt this for future commits. The biggest advantage is the "fork + pull" mechanic where someone can fork a project, do some fixes, modifications, additions etc. and you can pull his changes into the original repository. I know changing SCM is a big change in a project but I had to go the mailing list archives to find the SVN URL and I would love to see more contributions to ChucK. Also a big change in many projects, is the change for the build system. For Windows, the platform I'm originally interested in, I saw that there were Visual 6 projects which is quite outdated. For the benefit of everyone, I made a preliminary CMake build file which can right now build ChucK on Visual Studio 2010 for example. CMake is a bit like make but can generate projects for a number of platforms. So, to summarize, I imported the SVN repository (revision 93) into GitHub at this address : https://github.com/speps/chuck My changes are already there, some minor fixes so that it builds on Windows (without HID, DirectInput support was outdated, without OTF server too. I did not want to be asked about Windows firewall for ChucK). These options should be CMake options if anyone is up for it. Anyway, I hope to hear from the developers community about a possible switch over to GitHub which would be great for ChucK (I had to go the mailing lists to realize that the latest version from the home page dates from around 2009). Cheers, Remi Gillig.

This is truly great to see that many people interested ! I agree that my own changes should not be in the main trunk but this is how I would have done it if I forked the main chuck github project if there was one. After that I could have made a pull request for my changes if the original repository maintainers wanted to integrate my changes. Anyway, this is all conditional and I would like some input from the current SVN committers (Spencer Salazar and Ge Wang) if they could be ready to make this change. Nowadays, all platforms supported by ChucK have decent Git support and using Git in combination with GitHub really can make wonders to an open source project like ChucK. I hope this message will reach them. In the meantime, I will try to keep my github in sync with the SVN one but I can't guarantee anything. As for contribution, if anyone is up for it, the current CMakeLists.txt file only supports Windows (because I don't have anything else setup) so it needs Linux and MacOSX support (at least with default options). And maybe later add support for compilation options (such as choose for HID support or not etc.). Again, thanks for the feedback ! Cheers, Remi Gillig.
