Merge projects
The projects https://www.ohloh.net/p/yarp and https://www.ohloh.net/p/yarp0 are duplicates, a request to merge them was opened long time ago, but with no reply... Can you have a look at it? Thanks!
Regards,
Daniele
Daniele,
merge
is an interesting choice of words... As far as I can see the two are somewhat separate projects. The SF project has failed due to a single CVS enlistment which is now empty and there is also a git at SF which has not even been enlisted though the last commit is at 2013-04-18. Let me know how you would like to merge the enlistments from yarp0 into yarp.
Thanks!
Hello,
The 2 projects are actually the same (I can tell you for sure, since I'm one of the developers and admin of yarp).
yarp0 cvs enlistments are very old and have been migrated long time ago to svn (in the yarp0 project enlistment) and recently due to a sourceforge upgrade have been moved for a while to another svn address, and finally to git. The main repositories are now hosted on github, and the new locations are already enlisted for yarp.
I wasn't aware that the old cvs repository were available, the svn still exists, but is read only, and all the code has been migrated to git.
Probably, instead of merging
the projects, it would be enough just to delete yarp0, as it is an outdated snapshot of yarp...
Daniele,
I can do that. You could also keep the project around (at least for a while) as a Legacy
project to be sure that all committers are credited for their work until you can analyze the projects side-by-side and feel certain that all history was migrated to the new repositories.
Let me know.
Thanks!
Daniele,
A quick check indicates that yarp contains the commits from September 14, 2002 on as does yarp0. There may be some additional commits contained in yarp0 from before that but they appear to be administrative in nature. It seems likely the newer yarp project has all the history you may need. I'd suggest some spot-checking (which I don't have the time to perform) and then we can jettison the older yarp0 project.
Thanks!
Hello again,
I took care of the svn-to-git migration, and I'm positive that no contribution was lost during this migration. I cannot guarantee for the cvs-to-svn migration that happened long time ago, but I'm quite sure that it was just a full import of the cvs repository... So I think it can be deleted
Thanks,
Daniele
Daniele,
I tend to agree. In any case delete
in ohloh-speak never really means delete so the project could be re-instated easily should that be needed.
Project yarp0 deleted.
Thanks!
