Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
as many people seem to prefer using git over svn, we have decided to
convert the master repository of osm2pgsql and mod_tile over to git.<br>
<br>
Therefore, from now on the svn is no longer the "upstream"
repository.<br>
<br>
Instead these will be<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql">https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql</a><br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile/">https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Previously anyone who had an osm-svn account had commit access to
the repositories and could submit patches directly to the master
repository, and indeed people did take advantage of this (were
forced to take advantage of this). After the move to git, this will
no longer be the case. For the moment it is pretty limited who has
push rights to the repository (Jon and myself for mod_tile, and
Sahra, Brian and myself for osm2pgsql), but that is something that
can be discussed and changed. Personally I am in favour of a fairly
open policy and would be happy to see others have push rights as
well.<br>
<br>
With that change I guess the bug tracking will also likely mainly
move over to the github issue trackers, although track tickets on
trac.openstreetmap.org now also get forwarded to the tile-serving
mailing list. Therefore they should be noticed and dealt with as
well, if you prefer to use trac.<br>
<br>
<br>
As the new repositories live in the same location as previously the
svn mirrors you will need to re-check out those repositories, as the
history has been re-written to be a cleaner SVN conversion than the
mirrors previously were. I hope that doesn't cause any trouble or
inconvenience for people who have local forks of the previous
mirror.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any comments or suggestions on the development process of these two
projects are welcome,<br>
<br>
