Moving the Cog subversion repository to githup at 2016-6-16 7am UTC
Hi all, we are all finished importing the VM repository to Github, migrating the scripts, and setting up automatic builds and hosting of binaries. We want to switch over from SVN tomorrow morning at 7am UTC. At that point, Tim and Fabio will merge any remaining commits on the SVN repository between now and that time and any further development will take place on Github. If possible, you may refrain from committing to SVN, as this will mean less work for Tim and Fabio. The new repository is at https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/vm. The Cog branch is the new default branch and is still called Cog, this is the main focus of development. The old trunk branch has been renamed to "oldTrunk". The master branch will track the Cog branch and will be the repository integrated into for releases. To get started, please refer to the updated README <https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/vm/blob/Cog/README.md> that is shown on the Github page. _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot, Tim & Fabio
whoohoo! thank you very much :) Esteban

Hi all, as of 7:30 UTC the entire history of the SVN up to SVN revision 3745 was migrated to GitHub. Automatic builds are running ( https://ci.appveyor.com/project/timfel/vm/branch/Cog, https://travis-ci.org/OpenSmalltalk/vm) and binary artifacts are uploaded ( https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/_latestVersion#files). Right now we have enabled all platform, object memory and bytecode set combinations that I found build scripts for - most work, but OS X 64-bit Sista is failing right now (32-bit works). At some point we'll have to decide which combinations to put into the CI config as "allowed failures" to get a green badge :) Another thing for those not familiar with Git: Right now the entire repository is 360MB, including all history. Most of that is old images that were at one point committed to SVN and that have been pulled into the repository. We could clean those out (removing them from the history) to make the repository smaller, but I felt ~400MB is still ok (albeit technically over the Github quota. We'll see of they complain). I would like to ask everyone to stop committing large binary files into the repository, however. Git is simply not very suited to dealing with binaries. If there is a need for that, Github has support for git-lfs, which offers 1GB of free storage with a 1GB bandwith limit per month. If we need more, we can look at the different billing levels. If you're familiar with Git, the only new thing to watch out for is the updateSCSSVersions script as described in the README. It's not relevant for the CI, but your own binaries will only show correct versions if this script runs at appropriate times. If you are not familiar with Git and don't care, there are scripts for committing that should take care of everything as described in the README. Again, let us know if anything doesn't work. The only difference vs SVN to watch out for for you will be that the old scripts/svnci would commit your changes to the server, whereas the scripts/gitci script only commits them locally. You'll have to run `git pull` and `git push` to get them up to the server. If you have any questions regarding the repository setup please don't hesitate to ask. You shouldn't be able to break anything, since we've disabled force pushes to both master and Cog (and thus any chance of destroying history).

Very impressive work, Tim&Fabio ! The power of full-automation !

About uploading binary artifacts, this is something I asked and this nice that Fabio make it work :-) Apparently there is some problems with some artifacts that have a double .zip extension.

What is favorite way of contributing for people outside the vm team ? pull-requests ? Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
This is very very cool. Thanks to all the people involved, and thanks Eliot for listening the "community's wishes". I honestly thought it would take much longer or never happened. I am so glad to have been proven wrong! Best, On Thu, Jun 16, 2016 at 5:24 AM, Tim Felgentreff <timfelgentreff@gmail.com> wrote:

Tim, this morning as I prepared to cone the repository I felt a rush of relief spread over me as I realised that I never haves to build and upload VMs again. Thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone who encouraged and helped me in making this transition. I am a happier human as a result.

And this will help giving Smalltalk more exposure in the developers "social network" that is GitHub. Esteban A. Maringolo
