Onboarding: RSAGA #18

Closed pat-s closed 6 years ago

pat-s commented 6 years ago

Hi guys,

we decided internally that it would be time to move RSAGA to the r-spatial org. Unfortunately, we have no contact anymore to Donovan Bangs who maintained the Github repo for a long time: https://github.com/debangs/RSAGA. Therefore the repo temporarly moved to https://github.com/be-marc/RSAGA for the recent 1.0.0 update (we will also create a short blog post about the changes soon).

To prevent such issues in the future, the r-spatial org seems to be the perfect place to us. This is in accordance with the maintainer, Alexander Brenning (not on Github).

Great news - welcome on board, and congratulations with getting the 1.0-0 out, after 10 years!

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

Sounds great! How do you want to proceed?

pat-s commented 6 years ago

Waiting for @be-marc to transfer ownership.

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

@gisma @jannes-m @rsbivand would it make sense to also have link2GI, RQGIS and rgrass7 hosted at r-spatial? Thoughts?

gisma commented 6 years ago

I think it makes extremely sense to bring together the central elements (ie packages) of the R geospatial community at r-spatial. Nevertheless certainly it must be discussed what means central but it means for sure the wrapper packages RQGIS and rgrass7. In the future even more wrapper packages will arise if QGIS 3.x drops parts of the processing chain support which will no longer be reached via RQGIS anymore. Maybe also link2GI would be worthwhile to think abbout though imho it is in questions of central only minor. So I would very much appreciate if the authors of the packages would decide to accommodate these on r-spatial.

rsbivand commented 6 years ago

Sounds like a sensible idea. I already have an sf-flavoured rgrass7 repo, but rgrass7 itself is still on R-forge. How should we think about CI in this context?

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

@rsbivand would migrating the R-forge repo to r-spatial and having the sf flavoured code as a branch in that repo make sense?

rsbivand commented 6 years ago

Probably, but I'd need hand-holding wrt. creating the branch. I guess I'd do this locally first?

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

Yes, when your local and remote repos are set up (linked) properly, you can create a new branch locally and simply push to remote where this new branch will then be created automatically.

be-marc commented 6 years ago

Hey,

thank you for accepting RSAGA. I tried to transfer the repository but I get an error message. Can you give me permission to create a repository?

gisma commented 6 years ago

transfer managed - thanks for taking link2GI on r-spatial

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

@be-marc I've sent you an invitation. Once you accept it you should be able to transfer the repo

jannes-m commented 6 years ago

I would be more than happy to integrate RQGIS into the r-spatial world. Please note that we will make RQGIS compatible with QGIS 3/Python 3. But we will wait a bit until the inevitable QGIS 3 first release bugs have been fixed. In any case, until at least 22. February 2019 QGIS 2.18 will be the LTR, so we still have a bit time.

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

@jannes-m i've sent you an invitation. It's in your hands.

pat-s commented 6 years ago

@edzer @tim-salabim could one of you give @jannes-m and @pat-s push/pull access to RSAGA? Thanks! @be-marc has no rights to do so.

tim-salabim commented 6 years ago

done
