906656 - Get a copy of screenresolution in a Mozilla-controlled repo, plus tarballs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: Puppet, task)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

We currently build screenresolution 1.5 and 1.6 for different versions of OS X.

We do so by cloning git://github.com/jhford/screenresolution.git.  This has two problems:
 1. It's a dependency on an external site to maintain the source code
 2. The repo's controlled by a single person

We should clone this repo to the mozilla org on github, or to git.m.o.  We should also keep tarballs of the source for both 1.5 and 1.6 in the puppetagain repos.

Hal, can you create that repo for me?  The repo should be a fork of jhford's.  If access is granted to groups, please grant it to IT_Operations (which seems to be the only group I can see) and whatever other groups you prefer.

$ git archive --prefix=screenresolution-1.5 1.5 | gzip > screenresolution-1.5.tar.gz
$ git archive --prefix=screenresolution-1.6 f2c404db62629f504ee56913e59a91470f1d7326 | gzip > screenresolution-1.6.tar.gz

We'll need to tag f2c404db as 1.6 once we've forked it, or perhaps jhford can do so before.

Sorry, those --prefix options should have trailing /'s

We prefer not to do things that way (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Github)

:jhford -- the "simplest" way to do this would be for you to transfer ownership to me, then I can transfer it into the Mozilla organization. Does that work for you?

John, ping?  I can't add a second needsinfo flag for you, can I (/me tries..)

[John Ford [:jhford] CET/CEST Berlin Time]

I'm happy with it as is.  Please feel free to fork it into whichever organization you'd like it to be in.

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

Hal, do you want to set up a new mozilla repo, then?  I (if I have perms) or you can push the contents of john's into it.

I forked to https://github.com/mozilla/build-screenresolution and gave push access to the releng and it-operations teams.
