<div class="m_-7785173141410863954moz-cite-prefix">You are correct, about 75% of the
activities on ASLO have identified repositories. Interestingly,
there are 250 repositories on <a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">git.sugarlabs.org</a> <br>
which may be activity projects with no corresponding bundle on
ASLO. <br>
<br>
I reviewed the Pootle list yesterday and recorded the url to each
repository in the spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
So the question is, when to go for the last resort? No harm is
done by creating a repository from the bundle. <br>
<br>
Since I am traveling in the next two weeks, I doubt there will be
time to work on this until after that. If the community wishes I
can then create a wiki page with the list of these orphans. It
would be essentially the list of 224 minus about 20 where
repositories have been identified by you and others.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

If there is a problem with an activity, the github

Hi, James<br>
<br>
Thank for these details. I am trying to find out
what the standards<br>
are for these repositories.<br>
<br>
Tony Forster contacted me by private email to let me
know that<br>
textdungeon did not have a repository. Version 4 is
version 3 with<br>
the removal of<br>
<br>
import simplejson<br>
<br>
which causes an activity to fail with python 2.7.<br>
</blockquote>
Both of these pieces of information should be in the
commits; please<br>
rewrite them.<br>
<br>
Also, it should not be marked version 4 until you are
ready to do the<br>
later steps in the role of activity maintainer; tag a
release, make a<br>
bundle, and upload to ASLO. As it stands now, there
is no version 4<br>
bundle in ASLO, yet the repository contains a version
4.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
In summary, in making a repository:<br>
<br>
* the commits need<br>
--author<br>
--date<br>
--compiled files such as .pyc should be
deleted<br>
*git history should show each available
version when created<br>
from a bundle<br>
*delete MANIFEST<br>
</blockquote>
The delete of MANIFEST and the GTK+ 3 porting should
be commits made<br>
after the commit of the latest ASLO version; not
including any later<br>
version you release from git.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
*add a .gitignore file (I understand this to

No, it won't be the same. It may have some patterns
that are common.<br>
It should have patterns for any files that may be
created by running<br>
or building the source.<br>

Regarding thoughts:<br>
b) how is an installed activity to work
without these files<br>
in the bundle? How is source code for object files
kept in the<br>
repository (e.g. box2d)?<br>
</blockquote>
It will work mysteriously. How and where source code
is kept is up to<br>
the activity author. My point is that you cannot
trust the activity<br>
author to have included source, and so a git
repository built from the<br>
bundle may end up being less useful for source control
purposes.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
c) this is the goal. However, how do you do
this for an<br>
activity for which there is no repository?<br>
</blockquote>
Do this carefully and with the appropriate social
license; as part of<br>
taking on activity maintenance role for an activity.<br>
<br>
What Walter said, I agree with; paraphrasing now;
creating a<br>
repository from a bundle is a last resort action deep
inside a long<br>
process of maintaining an activity, which also
includes upgrading it<br>
to GTK+ 3, testing, and making a release.<br>
<br>
It isn't something to do first on <a href="http://github.com/sugarlabs" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">github.com/sugarlabs</a><br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
d) I don't understand you here. Any
developers will see an<br>
activity with a link to a repository. How is that
confusing?<br>
</blockquote>
Because the repository was built from the bundle,
instead of the<br>
bundle built from the repository.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
e) A repository provides a standard way to
document problems<br>
that prevent the activity from working. Many
activities in github<br>
may not work at a given time in the development,
maintenance<br>
cycle. This has no effect until the bundle is
released to ASLO. We<br>
have a fact that there are many (about one-half)
bundles in ASLO<br>
that do not work. The best I can do is test and
write an issue as to<br>
why they don't work. As volunteers get time, they
can address the<br>
issues.<br>
</blockquote>
Where standard ways to document problems go against
code quality and<br>
maintenance in the project as a whole, then the latter
should win.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I am not a 'maintainer' on ASLO. This
permission would be<br>
helpful.<br>
</blockquote>
I was speaking of being an activity maintainer, rather
than only<br>
developer status on <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">activities.sugarlabs.org</a>.<br>
<br>
The role of an activity maintainer is to accept
changes from others,<br>
test the activity, iterate with fixes, update version,
tag a release,<br>
make a bundle, upload to ASLO, upload to <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">download.sugarlabs.org</a>,
and<br>
field any questions that arise.<br>
<br>
I'd like to assess your capability in all those steps
before giving<br>
you any additional permissions on ASLO. On the other
hand, I can't<br>
give you any additional permissions on ASLO because I
don't have them<br>
myself. I'm not the one to convince on that.<br>
