Firebird .Net Provider is moving to Git/Github
Jiri Cincura wrote about his issues with SourceForge and SVN also his idea to move
to a better system : git/github:
Maybe you remember the thread “Releasing more often???“. Yeah and
nothing happened. 🙂 Because there was not a strong protest, I think
it’s something we all ‘d like to have.
I was lately really pissed of by SF’s SVN. If you worked with it, not
just committing, I think just using it, you can feel my pain. So first
part of the improving I’d like to offer moving to Git on GitHub. I’m
not a fan of GitHub (I like BitBucket, if somebody asks), but it’s a
de-facto standard in OSS.
With this we will also gain benefits like downloading the sources
packed, downloadig specific version etc.
Also I’d like to release *only* on NuGet and latest version for latest
framework as MSI (on website). The rest can be downloaded/extracted
from NuGet. We now support just .NET 3.5 SP1 and later, thus at least
VS2010 and so NuGet is available to everybody. And even that, you can
grab NuGet.exe and download from command line, if you want (i.e.
you’re hard-core developer using Notepad and csc only :)). Both these
with higher cadence, shorter release loop as mentioned in previous
thread.
Maybe I’m too optimistic, so please let me know what you think and
what you think is going not work. 😉
