Switch to GitHub? #1128

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I just realized that soon Google Code is being shut down. I didn't see anything 
about it anywhere on this Google Code page, so I thought I would mention it 
just in case. I really like this, and would like to contribute and stuff, but 
we should migrate to something else soon.

March 12, 2015 - New project creation disabled

August 24, 2015 - The site goes read-only, can still checkout/view project 
source, issues, and wikis.

January 25, 2016 - The project hosting service is closed. You will be able to 
download a tarball of project source, issues, and wikis. These tarballs will be 
available throughout the rest of 2016.

I saw x360ce on GitHub, but I'm not sure if any of the repositories are 
official.

https://github.com/cnfsn/x360cei
https://github.com/PsychoGod/x360ce
https://github.com/jeppeter/x360ce

I just want to make sure the project doesn't just disappear one day, or that 
everything is lost. I have exported everything to a GitHub account until all of 
the data is on another service.

Thanks and hope to hear from somebody soon.

UPDATE: The project ha too many issues to export correctly. This is a little 
more urgent now. I mean, we technically could wait months, but I would rather 
not due to the fact that we wouldn't be able to commit after a certain period.

Shithub is for scrubs.

i'd sooner see the code hosted on sourceforge or a private svn.

GitHub seems reasonable but I'm not very familiar with GIT.

PS: My pal (linux driver programmer) loves GIT ;p

GitHub is also compatible with SVN, so you wouldn't have to learn anything. But 
you should really learn Git, most projects are using it now.

Not sure why people have such animosity towards any open-source hosting site, 
GitHub is used by many open-source applications, operating systems, and is 
powered by open-source software. SourceForge would be fine as well, as long as 
the project doesn't die, that's all I'm worried about.

Alright, fair enough. But are you guys going to move it somewhere else? 
CodePlex is another option I forgot about, but I am not a huge fan of it. 
Again, as long as the project remains accessible and doesn't die is all I'm 
concerned about.

You guys are the project maintainers, so it's up to you.

In the end, it doesn't matter what we switch to. SOMEBODY will not be happy, 
but in reality it doesn't matter because most project hosting sites allow SVN 
and GIT, and function the same way Google Code does (issues, pull 
requests/patches, branches, Wiki, small website support, etc.)

But back to the original issue, you guys are going to move to something, right? 
I mean, I thought x360ce had a website (http://www.x360ce.com/). But it looks 
kind of fishy. Almost like it is fake, or a scam. I'm not sure I trust it.
