Using Git with GDAL repository

Posted on by

I have mirrored Subversion trunk of GDAL repository on Gitorious – a free hosting for collaborating on distributed open source projects. It is available as svn-trunk repository of gdal project.

The main motivation is that it simplifies development of experiments in case one needs version control or complete disconnection from SVN trunk for some period. Thanks to git-svn, it is possible to push changes back to the trunk.

I outlined the process of maintaining GDAL trunk using Git in the Wiki article Using Git To Maintain GDAL Workflow.

The synchronization is not a time consuming process at all but even that I hope to make it automatic process in near future. First, I have to ship my little personal server to a remote data centre and I’m hoping to do it next week. Lucky bastard going to bask in the warm sun of Portugal :-)

libLAS - ASPRS LiDAR data translation toolset Hobu proposed motion to migrate libLAS source code repository from Subversion to Mercurial. The motion has been approved and Hobu completed the mgration.

In order to check out libLAS source code from the new repository, issue the clone command:

hg clone http://hg.liblas.org/

The libLAS Trac has been re-configured to make the new repository browsable. Alternative Web-based interface is available at http://hg.liblas.org/.

Jeff Lindsay announced DevjaVu will be shutting down. This is bad news of the day for me, because I’ve been hosting on DevjaVu my personal workshop repository with miscellaneous prototypes and experiments at http://mloskot.devjavu.com/.

Due to Jeff’s decision, I’ve moved my repo to GitHub where is available as all-in-one workshop repository at http://github.com/mloskot/workshop/:

git clone git://github.com/mloskot/workshop.git

I?d like to send big thanks to Jeff and the DevjaVu team for two years of providing top-notch Subversion and Trac services. Good luck!

PostGIS SVN moved

Paul just announced that Subversion repository of PostGIS source code has moved to OSGeo server. The new URL of SVN is: http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/.

Only base location of the repository has changed, so the cheapest way to switch existing working copy that points to old location of SVN is to switch & relocate:

mloskot@dog:~/dev/postgis/_svn/trunk$ svn switch --relocate \
   http://svn.refractions.net/postgis/trunk/  \

https://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk

For the sake of security, I would recommend committers to use https scheme which is well supported on OSGeo server.
