Re: [chuck-dev] ChucK GitHub

Hello, We recently (about 1 year ago) migrated the ChucK codebase to an SVN repository as an effort to streamline development, which it absolutely has done (compared to when it was in a stone-age CVS repository). At various times, such as now, we've felt leanings towards Git in the community, and while we are hesitant to play "technology tag", Git appears to be here to stay, and an effective tool for development. So at this point migrating to Git is something we are strongly considering and are likely to go forward with. spencer (+ ChucK team) On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 6:29 AM, mike clemow wrote:

I'll throw my hat in the ring for for git.

I'm wondering how many users have personal changes to the main ChucK branch...  I've dabbled in this realm before, but I'm curious what other changes people have made.

I had tried doing that quite a long time ago ;)

But lost interest in keeping it up to date.. I hope you have more luck!  Personally I think the project would benefit greatly by moving completely to git.

I am in support of this idea, but I think it may be a better idea to keep the "master" branch representative of the official ChucK "trunk", and keep any other commits in other branches until they are merged into ChucK "officially".

Just my two cents. ---------- Colin Sullivan

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 For Windows, the platform I'm originally interested in, I saw that there were Visual 6 projects which is quite outdated.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. _______________________________________________ chuck-dev mailing list chuck-dev@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-dev
