My availability to work on DAViCal
Hi,

My current commitments to paid work leave me no time to work on DAViCal
at present, and this situation could well get worse before it gets
better sometime after May next year.

I believe that the current Git head is ready for a 1.1.2 release, but if
someone else can find the time to create packages and release them that
would be awesome.

Anyone who wants to have write access to the Git repository in order to
make changes should send me a personal e-mail with their SSH public key.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Re: My availability to work on DAViCal [ In reply to ]
Hey Andrew,

I feel with you, so really no issue on that. Would you be still around to answer my every now and than questions? Like my pending one... ;)

I'd be happy to give a helping hand, but I've got no clue packaging and such stuff. I could do some code fixing, but I'm often unsure if it's a real bug or just some weird RFC I don't understand.

I know we had the topic somewhere, but I cannot find it: Have you though about moving the project to Github? I'm using it in conjuction with some other major open source projects (like Symfony2) and it has some plain awesome coworking features like simple fork->change->pull-request handling. This way you could accept code changes with a single click.

The community could work more easy on the code and you could step back to be the grand overseer.

Cheers
Matthias

I've forgotten what that was, sorry :-(

Heh. Me too :-)

I've used Gitorious and Github for other projects and they do make it
nice and easy to create a personal fork of any project. Reintegrating
work on that fork back into the main project doesn't seem to me to be
any easier, but maybe I'm missing something :-)

But you can also fork an external project onto Gitorious/Github too, and
do as you will. I have absolutely no problem with that, then if you
make changes your code can be pulled and pushed to the primary location
(whether that were to continue at repo.or.cz or not).

Obviously the web interface to repo.or.cz is pretty crusty, but to be
honest I've not needed to use that for some years, and that isn't any
different from aCal, where I've used Gotorious for public Git hosting.

Cheers,
Andrew.

I'll send you a new mail... also found some more issues since then. ;)

Dunno... I started to use Git and Github somehow at the same time... so perhaps I'm just a bit unexperienced with the other ones. ^^

Ok... I just tought that one main repo on Github would be easier for the community due to it's powerfull features around the core like the issue tracker.

I'll setup a fork on Github and see if I can somehow automate it to keep up with your changes. Will send an update to the mailing list when I've got news.

Cheer
Matthias

Re: My availability to work on DAViCal [ In reply to ]
Hey there,

I finally managed to setup a repo on Github:

https://github.com/DAViCal/davical

I've created an organization to keep the stuff somehow clean.

@Andrew: Hope this ok for you. I also found you on Github and added you as an owner.

I plan to use this repo as a pure mirror of the main repo located on repo.or.cz. My development work will be located in my personal fork

https://github.com/althaus/davical

@Andrew: Is it possible to add a post hook to your repo which can automatically push to Github? Or just notify an URL on my server? This would drop the need to pull the data somehow on updates.

Still looking more indepth, if I can optimize the approach, but I think it's pretty solid to start with.

Cheers
Matthias

I saw that - thanks. Not sure how much I'll be able to do, but sometime
after March things might calm down a bit for me once more. Meanwhile
I'm frantically searching for developers to come work for me and write
Android tablet software...

I'm not sure. If someone were to research it and tell me 'go here,
click this, paste that' I could find the time to do that :-)

Thanks for stepping up,

Hi all,

I completely understand your situation, same business here. Would it be
possible to release at least the tarballs for awl and davical ?

TIA,
Charles

Hi Andrew,
If you can send me through an email outlining what is involved to build
packages I will at least take a look on your behalf. I haven't built
RPM/DEB packages before (I'm a Gentoo user), but I'm willing to give it
a go if you can give me some pointers.

I gather I would require availability of the most current versions of
particular operating systems (e.g.: Debian 6.0, Fedora 17, Gentoo) for
building packages and testing they install as expected.

Nothing to do for you. Just thought it'd be nice if the real owner is listed on GH, too. ;-)

I bought me a shiny Nexus 7 some weeks ago, but never have done any Android coding. ^^

I did some researching, but at least repo.or.cz doesn't seem to support any simple post hooks. :(
