GitHub Migration Steps

Codebases to migrate to GitHub

...

Main Codebases

• Primary DSpace Codebase - The Offical DSpace/DSpaceGitHub repository is now active! All DSpace development is now occurring in GitHub instead of SVN.
  1. The "DSpace/DSpace" GitHub is a BRAND NEW copy of SVN, with SVN author mapping using the #Author File below.
  2. WARNING: The old, "unofficial" "DSpace/DSpace" GitHub repository was renamed to DSpace-SVN-Deprecated
     • Anyone who had forked the "unofficial" GitHub migrate as-soon as possible to the new GitHub repo, as the old one will not be maintained any further.
     • Once everyone has migrated (no more forks exist), we will delete the "DSpace/DSpace-SVN-Deprecated" repo.
•  dspace-api-lang - migrated to GitHub:DSpace/dspace-api-lang 
  • perhaps migrate to a single 'dspace-lang' GitHub project?  (Mark: I think move back into DSpace API and use minor releases to update languages.)
•  dspace-xmlui-lang - migrated to GitHub:DSpace/dspace-xmlui-lang
  • perhaps migrate to a single 'dspace-lang' GitHub project? (Mark: I think move back into DSpace-xmlui and use minor releases to manage.)
• dspace-services - migrated to GitHub:DSpace/dspace-services
•  dspace-pom - consolidated into Offical DSpace/DSpace GitHub repository
•  License/License Header files (used by 'dspace-pom') - consolidated into Offical DSpace/DSpace GitHub repository
•  dspacedspace-assembly-plugin (used by 'dspace-parent' to assembly DSpace)- consolidated into Offical DSpace/DSpace GitHub repository

...

The following codebases are strictly releases of DSpace dependencies. Some of these dependencies just needed to be pushed to Maven Central (i.e. we don't "own" any of the code – all we did was release it to Maven Central because we needed it available there). Others need minor tweaks for DSpace.

QUESTION: Should we just combine all of these into a single 'dspace-dependences' GitHub repository? Is there a reason to maintain these as separate repositories? It seems like most of these we could just release/update as needed from a single 'dspace-dependences' GitHub repo.

• dspace-solr (dependency of 'modules/solr') - migrated to GitHub:DSpace/dspace-solr
• dspace-geoip (dependency of 'dspace-stats') - migrated to GitHub:DSpace/dspace-geoip
• dspace-cocoon-servlet-service-impl (dependency of dspace-xmlui-wing) - migrated to GitHub:DSpace/dspace-cocoon-servlet-service-impl

The below dependencies may no longer be needed, as it seems like we have a valid way to replace them in the future.

• dspace-solr (dependency of 'modules/solr') - migrate to 'dspace-dependencies' GitHub project???
• dspace-geoip (dependency of 'dspace-stats') - migrate to a general 'dspace-dependencies' GitHub project???
• 
• dspace-tm-extractors (used by dspace-api to do text extraction of Word docs?) - Can we just replace this with POI (http://poi.apache.org/), which is used for PPT text extraction (but also looks to work for Word docs)? See DS-1140
• dspace-jmockit (dependency of dspace-parent) - migrate to a general 'dspace - dependencies' GitHub project??? (NOTE: JMockit is now in Maven Central, as long as we can upgrade to 0.999.11 or above. So, we may no longer need this separate project.)
• dspace-cocoon-servlet-service-impl (dependency of dspace-xmlui-wing) - migrate to a general 'dspace-dependencies' GitHub project???

Mark: I think all these should get separate repos becauseeach has a separate release cycle.

Additional Active DSpace projects

...

• Make existing SVN READ-ONLY
• Archive the existing SVN (scm.dspace.org hosted by OSUOSL) to http://svn.duraspace.orgfor posterity.
  • DSpace READ-ONLY SVN archive is at: https://svn.duraspace.org/dspace/
• Post a notice in the archived SVN (at svn.duraspace.org) that codebase is now at GitHub

Additional Cleanup tasks

• Turn off any syncing between SVN and GitHub
  
  • Notify the Committers before making this change!!
• Ensure Maven 'License Header' check still works when running 'mvn install' (this is setup in 'dspace-pom')
  
  • Likely will need to move LICENSE_HEADER to GitHub, maybe into same project as 'dspace-pom'?
  • Also will likely require a new release of 'dspace-pom'
• Ensure Maven Release Procedure still works - likely will require a POM update or two.

Mark: I've run a few releases via sonatype and github, it might be good to run a test release or two just to verify.  We just need to update the source management section of the maven parent Pom. I have examplespf these settings in my repo.

Final Steps

• Notify community when development has moved completely to GitHub.
• Redirect old SVN URLs:
  • Redirect scm.dspace.org to svn.duraspace.org (if possible, setup this redirect so that old URLs just go directly to that SVN archive)
• Contact OSUOSL and let them know we no longer need to use the old SVN server.
• (In process/ongoing) Build some "GitHub Best Practices" documentation @ Development with Git
  • Need to also update or delete Tracking your source code with Git
