Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[alexander :surkov (:asurkov)]

Aaron and Olli, would we like to have http://hg.mozilla.org/xforms/ URL?

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

Yes, that would probably be the best place,
better than hg.mozilla.org/users/<something>/xforms
The latter one is easier to setup, though, I've been told.

So, go for creating this? Should the repo be restricted to any particular users, groups, etc., or should all people with Hg access be able to push changes?

I'd say that all people with Hg commit access should be able to commit changes to our repo, too.  Then they can do commits for a patch author if we are unavailable or be able to fix our code too if they are making a system-wide change.

For clarity "all people with Hg commit access" includes all l10n, and will include incubator repos, etc.

Where "all people with Hg commit access to mozilla-central" is a smaller set of people.

And "soon" comm-central will have its own list (will include m-c theoretically).

If you want "anyone who can push to any Hg repo" thats probably easiest for reed, but I figured you being informed here would be useful :-)

It's just as easy for me to make a repo hg_mozsrc (mozilla-central people only), as it is to make it open to everybody with Hg access (hg_mozilla).

I don't really see anyone apart from our small group and the mozilla-central folks really needing commit access.  But if it is a pain to change, just leave it.  I don't foresee many malicious l10n people looking to terrorize the xforms project :-)

[root@dm-svn02 mozilla]# chgrp -R hg_mozsrc xforms

All done. No pain involved!

Reed, how can we change description of xforms repository? Currently it is unknown. It would be nice to have something like "Current development of http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/ xforms extension".

Normally, you just need to file a bug. However, I just did it for you. :)
