Description Richard Hughes 2008-03-31 08:07:34 UTC

At the moment the quirk site here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ is being accessed by thousands of people every month, and other HAL developers would like to be able to change pages.

By creating a public repo (rather than a private repo), I can get the other HAL developers to upload new and updated content, and also have a nice shiny URL that isn't a people page.

This doesn't belong in hal or hal-info git trees as it is just a website in html and javascript, not code or XML and is not a logical part of either HAL or hal-info.

I guess a suitable project name would be hal-quirk-site. I would like to stay primary contact for this project, and I will get the other developers to open account modifiaction requests once this is set up.

I would like git and a url but do not need a mailing list, as we can use the hal mailing list for that. Many thanks!

Richard Hughes.

Yep, that seems fine for me.  The only thing I'd like to see is have it
namespaced under HAL (hal/quirk-site.git or somesuch).  Ideally, both
hal and hal-info would also move under hal/, following the Cairo model,
with symlinks for compatibility (though it remains to be seen how well
that'll work).

Any ideas on the naming?

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2008-03-31 13:16:51 UTC

I figured hal-quirk-site, hal-quirk-pages or hal-quirk-website

[Not Ccing sitewranglers@ this time; tough to get used to.]

I meant with regards to the hal/ namespace, e.g. are you happy with
hal/hal.git, hal/hal-info.git, and hal/hal-quirk-site.git?

Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2008-03-31 15:19:58 UTC

Yes, that's fine with me, although you probably want to email hal-devel ml to explain what we've done. Thanks!

Comment 5 Benjamin Close 2008-04-01 05:25:34 UTC

Ok, repos moved, symlinks setup and a new empty repo has been created at:

hal/hal-quirks-site.git

The repo should show up in cgit once you push to it to the first time. Access is restricted to those in the 'hal' fd.o group.

Richard, are you able to let hal-devel@ know about the changes? With any luck they  should be completely transparent.

Comment 6 Richard Hughes 2008-04-01 06:28:00 UTC

Pushed, and uploaded to http://hal.freedesktop.org/quirk/

Many thanks to you both. I'll send an email to the hal m/l now.
