As noted on overseers, once Saturday's DATESTAMP update has run at
00:16
UTC on Saturday, I intend to add a README.MOVED_TO_GIT file on SVN
trunk
and change the SVN hooks to make SVN readonly, then disable gccadmin's
cron jobs that build snapshots and update online documentation until
they
are ready to run with the git repository. Once the existing git mirror
has picked up the last changes I'll make that read-only and disable
that
cron job as well, and start the conversion process with a view to
having
the converted repository in place this weekend (it could either be made
writable as soon as I think it's ready, or left read-only until people
have had time to do any final checks on Monday). Before then, I'll
work
on hooks, documentation and maintainer-scripts updates.
Where and when and by who was it decided to use this conversion?
Joseph, please point to message on gcc@ mailing list that expresses
consensus of GCC community to use reposurgeon conversion. Otherwise,
it is not appropriate to substitute one's opinion for community
consensus.
I've gone back through this thread (if I've missed, or misrepresented,
anybody who's expressed an opinion I apologize now).

"When Richard and I spoke we generally agreed that we felt a reposurgeon
conversion, if it could be made to work was the preferred solution,
followed by Maxim's approach and lastly the existing git-svn mirror."

FWIW, I now support using reposurgeon for the final conversion.
And, of course, I'm taking Joseph's opinion as read :-)
So I don't see any clear dissent and most folks just want to get this
done.
Just to chime in I also just want to get it done (well, I can handle
SVN as well :P).
I trust Joseph, too, but then from my POV anything not worse than the
current
mirror works for me. Thanks to Maxim anyway for all the work - without
that
we'd not switch in 10 other years...
Btw, "consensus" among the quiet doesn't usually work and "consensus" among
the most vocal isn't really "consensus". I think GCC (and FOSS) works by
giving power to those who actually do the work. Doesn't make it easier
when
there are two, of course ;)
