It had to happen someday - Infinispan's primary source code repository has now moved to GitHub. We have abandoned Subversion as a version control tool for the far superior distributed VCS which has found favour in many large and complex open source projects. I've been experimenting with a GitHub setup for the past few weeks, with a snapshot of the Infinispan repository, and git is a sheer joy to use - a sublime experience, once you get your head around the concepts of distributed version control. GitHub makes things even sweeter, with an awesome web based UI.Anyway, a quick summary:
- Infinispan sources are no longer in Subversion, on JBoss.org
- The Infinispan Subversion repository is still browseable, in read-only mode!
- The primary repository for Infinispan is now http://github.com/infinispan/infinispan
- Clone this repository at will!
- Contributions should take the form of pull requests on GitHub
- Infinispan's Hudson, release tooling and other systems have been updated to reflect this change
For those used to working with Infinispan's Subversion-based setup, or those new to git, I've put together a short wiki page on getting started with Infinispan on GitHub.
Oh, and I'd love to hear your feedback on this move.Happy cloning!
