[!REBOL3 Source Control] How to manage build process

A few comments...
I was expecting that all these various implementation parts were 
already available.  That is, we're not reinventing the wheel.

They are.

Next, is there any conern about flooding. On a good day, I make about 
10-20 commits.
Andreas

Nope.

BTW, there are no merges between Linux and Win32 files.  These are 
all in the same repository.
So, all of the above seems pretty standard.
Andreas

It is.
It just needs to be done for R3.

That's why I asked earlier about where we want to put it.... because 
that seems to be a bigger question.

Call the exports r3-<datestamp>-<revision>.zip.

Or export into Git and put it on your server or on Github.

Or export into Subversion and put it on Github, or Google Code, or 
....

I think using Git is the way to god for a new project.   every big 
project I see that is changing VCS is goint Git.  it seems to be 
the most powerfull VCS right now.  do you agree Andreas?
god... hahaha 
obviously I meant  "go"
Andreas

Absolutely.
And I personally would suggest Git, put that'll take time and effort 
to get started with.
So it's probably quicker to get things going by using whatever Carl 
is familiar with.

are there free Git servers?

(Let's switch this to "Source control".)
Maxim

good idea.

Any one of them is fine with me.
So, A110 will be released soon.
(Meaning in a day or so.)
For this release, i'll be making fixes to the posix files, and most 
of what Steve Solie posted on CureCode.
Just to explain, my part has to remain focused on R3 development, 
mainly at the kernel level.


That means we need someone to take charge of what we've talked about 
above, using Git or whatever.
Andreas

I'd be willing to do that.
Carl

Ok, very good.
What do you think about soliciting a few inputs from other developers 
regarding choice of rev control and related issues... because we'll 
want them to use it?
Andreas

Fine with me, but not really a necessity.
As long as it is in _any_ version control we can easily bridge to 
almost any other VCS.

Well, I want to make sure that Brian, Cyphre, Henrik, Maxim, and 
a few others have a chance to say something... since they're going 
to be some of the primary users.
There are a few side issues around it too. Eg. do we need web access.
BTW, the reason I suggested Google was simply to gain greater visibility.
Andreas

We only need to source for starters :)
The greatest visibility these days is to be had on Github.

+1 for github

Ok, so this weekend, I'll put the new A110 source on it, to start 
there.
I'll post a blog to make sure everyone is tuned in on it.
From there Andreas can lead the way on how it should go.

Note that I already maintain a mirror of the R3 hostkit sources on 
Github:

Like various scripts to make the automation side of it work.
Andreas

Maybe a good place to start if you want to play around a bit.
Carl

[77x2]
Ah, ok...
Should we just use that?
Andreas
28-Oct-2010
[79x2]
Fine with me.
The most important part is how to automatically get your commits 
to whatever place we use. Not which place we use.
Carl

Ok, great... saves some steps.
Are there already some scripts for accessing github r3-hostkit?
