Hi Daniel, What do you think about setting up a wiki for libvirt? I know there are a number of people (especially in the CIM community) interested in being able to request features/requirements from the API. A wiki is a pretty easy way to allow that sort of contribution. I also like using wiki's a lot for active design documents. Regards, Anthony Liguori

Hum, I didn't see you mail in the bounces but it seems to not have made it to the list somehow ... I'm not against a Wiki, but my previous experience with it on xmlsoft.org was not fantastic. But why not. I may actually move libvirt.org out of veillard.com which is on my ADSL at home to the same box as xmlsoft.org, so I may have a Wiki set up there nearly ready. If people experience troubles accessing the web pages or the ftp during the week-end that may be due to DNS, if the problem shows up next week, please contact me so I can analyze the potential problem.

I also think about something better than CVS. What do you think about git or mercirial? ;-) Karel -- Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

+1 for something better than CVS. mercurial/bzr would be great, but SVN wouldn't be bad. -- Web/Blog/Gallery: http://floatingsun.net/blog

I still don't know how hg works, and never used git. I don't know how to administer them, and I can be a control freak at times ;-) (mostly when I run a box with public services) I may actually postpone the server move till a later time within a few weeks and revisit some of this then.

My $0.02 - given the proportionally large(r) expected interest from existing Xen developers, I'd vote for hg if a change is required [all things being somewhat equal, keeping the number of source code version control s/w that folks have to install and learn to a minimum...] That said, I have to use cvs for a lot of other things already so I'm quite happy today as-is :-) - G |---------+------------------------------> | | Daniel Veillard | | | <veillard@redhat.co| | | m> | | | Sent by: | | | libvir-list-bounces| | | @redhat.com | | | | | | | | | 03/10/06 03:47 PM | | | Please respond to | | | veillard | |---------+------------------------------>

I'll just chip in here very quickly. I don't really care which VC you choose, if you ever decide to change, but if you go with Subversion, I can offer help and advice setting it up and converting the cvs repository. ... Okay, so I do prefer Subversion over the others, but being a Subversion developer makes me biased :-) - Dave.

Okay, noted :-) I will have to switch to SVN for my other projects in the GNOME base soonish too (though honnestly I wonder what's the big advantage ;-) Anyway, to me the process and the result are way more important than the tools to get there. I'm also slightly biased toward CVS/SVN because I prefer people to commit or send patches early and often than developping big branches independantly. It's not like libvirt code size should ever grow very large and be spanned between hundred of contributors, we shouldn't need a causal-tracking versionning system. Send the patches instead ;-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat http://redhat.com/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/

It seems MediaWiki requires MySQL and PHP. I prefer MoinMoin, because it's completely in Python only. Karel -- Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
