Task #4444
Updated by bmbouter about 5 years ago
h2. Problems Having the pulp/pulp store the pulpcore code creates a few issues: Confusion. The pulp/pulp repo holds both pulp2 and pulp3 on different branches. This means that pull requests are mixed which causes us to need a lot of labels to distinguish the two at PR review time. Tags and Releases issues. We want the repo forpulp3 to cleanly show the releases (even the pre-releases). If you look at the Pulp releases page it has 1891 releases (a crazy unbelievable number). https://github.com/pulp/pulp/releases We should leave all these old tags from pulp2 behind and only have the pulp3 tags in the source tree Naming convention isues. The pulpcore-plugin is the PyPI package name and the repo name is pulp/pulpcore-plugin. For consistency the pulpcore PyPI package name is expected to live at pulp/pulpcore. h2. Solution Create a new repo called pulp/pulpcore and make pulp/pulpcore:master contain the HEAD of pulp/pulp:master. Also push all pulp3 tags which should all reference commits in the history of pulp/pulpcore:master. h2. What about pulp2? The We can promote pulp/pulp:2-master branch is left undisturbed so that release engineering can continue to build from it, and the open PRs against 2-master can remain undisturbed. h2. the plan On Thursday Feb 28th at 5pm UTC the cutover will happen. Specifically bmbouter will do the following steps: 1. create a new repo at pulp/pulpcore 2. fetch the latest HEAD from be pulp/pulp:master (the refs of pulp3) and push to the pulp/pulpcore:master branch 3. Move the tags starting with 3.0.0b* from the pulp/pulp repo to the pulp/pulpcore repo 4. Confirm with another developer that the refs and tags are moved to the new repo 5. delete pulp/pulp:master and make the default branch for pulp2 2-master. h2. Fixing forks and checkouts It should be these steps: 1. Delete your fork on github ( https://help.github.com/en/articles/deleting-a-repository ) 2. Fork it fresh from github but now from pulp/pulpcore 3. delete your local clone and reclone from your fork
