[rules-dev] Reminder: Tell me your github login before Thursday 16-DEC-2010

Tue Dec 21 10:46:46 EST 2010

Hi Michael,

I was just wondering what the project name would be in GitHub.  By private, I just meant that on GitHub there will be private committers (you and others, as part of the Drools team) and a public repository that can be forked for individuals (non-committers such as myself) to make downstream changes on their own GitHub accounts.  Non drools committers can then propose changes as a pull request or the traditional patch. It will make it really easy (and fun) for people like myself to try out some ideas and changes for our specific applications.  :) 

Anyway, really stupid question on my part, as I assume you guys will broadcast the repo name on the mailing lists as well as the website when you're ready.  I'm just excited, that's all. :)

best wishes,

Andrew

You need to use the ssh/native one. if you can't use ssh - we will have to find a way to, perhaps, mail round a zipped up repo (you can do this) and you download that, and then setup git, and pull any subsequent changes.

I had tried git-svn with the Drools SVN public location, but could never get the command to finish.  It will be nice to be able to pull and work with your public source from GitHub.  Thanks!
