The live Gerrit site is up and running at
https://code.wireshark.org/review. At this point you should be able to
do the following:
- Create an account[1]. This includes adding SSH keys, adding
OpenID identities, and setting an HTTP password.
- Clone the repository anonymously or using your ID:
https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark
ssh://your.username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:29418/wireshark
https://your.username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/review/wireshark
- Push changes to a Gerrit magic ref[2] (e.g.
HEAD:refs/for/master/convert-packets-to-frozen-custard).
Please be careful about pushing to non-magic, normal Git refs. It
*shouldn't* be possible to do so but if it does happen it could result
in a merge conflict.
I'm mirroring the Gerrit repository directly from the current git
repository, i.e. behind Gerrit's back. This is non-standard but *should*
be safe as long as no commits are done on the Gerrit side.
Most of the buildbots now check out source code using git. I'll probably
have them all migrated in the next day or so.
The weekly automatic number update script has been migrated to git. It
successfully pushed to the test repository and should push to the live
repository this upcoming Sunday.
The data for the OUI lookup tool
(http://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html) now comes from git.
Next steps:
- Update make-version.pl.
- Update the web site and wiki documentation.
- Further Buildbot integration. We should be able to do test builds
as part of the review process but that will likely have to wait
until after the migration.
Questions:
When should we schedule flag day? Is two weeks from now (Jan 28) too
soon? I don't want to stretch the migration out too long but I also want
to give everyone time to get set up and settled in.
Is it safe to redirect Git repositories served over HTTP? If so I'll
likely redirect http://code.wireshark.org/git/wireshark to
https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark after the migration.
