GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 782284
Please, migrate to GitHub/CMake
Last modified: 2017-05-08 08:45:52 UTC
Hello there. My name is Ivano Arrighetta and I'm Italian. I would like to suggest to migrate to GitHub for version control, and to use CMake for creating build projects for Windows and Mac OS, other than Makefiles for *nix. GitHub also offers a WebSite builder and a Wiki for each repository, other than an issue tracker. I'm pretty sure everyone would benefit from this. Bye, Ivano.
We are not convinced that GitHub is a better or safer service. Nor are we convinced that CMake is an inherently better build system. We already have a wiki. We don't need another website builder.
GNOME is considering to move to a different infrastructure there - https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/DevelopmentInfrastructure Any effort spent on discussing this should happen around their efforts (after reading and understanding everything that has been discussed already), and not be split into a GIMP-only approach.
