Re: gnome-i18n Digest, Vol 180, Issue 3



I agree with the change but it must be done homogeneously and smooth as possible.
If we have to knock every door and send a bunch of emails for this to happen then let's
do it; we are just asking to not break things up. Maybe we should postpone the
change until everything is set up.

Regards,
Rodrigo

Hi all,

Just a quick heads-up for people who have use git directly for
traslating Geary: As part of
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/324 The `master` branch has
been renamed to `mainline`. Same great content (and command line
completion prefix), snazzy new name. :)

So it would be worth doing a `git fetch && git checkout mainline` ASAP,
cherry pick any pending commits you have on the master branch, then
deleting the old branch to avoid committing more changes to it in the
future (`git branch --delete master && git remote prune origin`).

This change happened a few weeks ago, my apologies for not letting
everyone on the list know sooner.

Cheers!
//Mike

Hi Michael,

As I've already commented in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/403,
having a "mainline" branch instead of a "master" branch is confusing for
applications like Damned Lies, breaking for example cherry-picks from other
branches to "master" branch, as it doesn't exist.

Stable branches can be named with your own nomenclature (no need to name
them gnome-x.yy) but I would encourage you to keep the "master" branch. It
is the standard name for GNOME's development branches and helps developers
and contributors to identify where to look up the last version of the
source code.

If every GNOME's module begins naming it's "master" branch to whatever the
maintainer wants, this will be a chaos... I don't know where is the
advantage of this renaming (we don't belong to Linux kernel develpment, as
exposed in #324), but coherence across modules should be kept.

Regards.

That is already clearly explained in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/324

And nobody ever said so, so I don't know why it's brought up.

I agree that it would be good to consider renaming all master branches.

Just because "master" implies an "slave" branch? Note that I'm not the only
who disagrees with the change, so maybe the reason is not really clear

Yes, it's mentioned in the issue: "...several projects like Rust, Django
and the Linux kernel..."

Great, but having modules with no standard name for master/trunk/whatever
branch might break applications like Damned Lies, so this rename should be
reconsidered, at least until we decide to rename the whole modulesed's
master branch to another one.

What would happen if every module maintainer decides to rename it's master
branch? It will be a mess... I just think we should keep names homogeously,
don't mind if it's called master, trunk... ;-)

Then mightn't it be better to bring up the topic with GNOME and/or Git
upstream? Because it would be a bit of a mess if every project could
decide for themselves what to call their master/mainline branch. For
infrastructure reasons, it seems to me that it would be best if the
name of that branch were uniform.

I would like that name to be something other than "master", which is a
bit clunky, inaccurate, and prone to cause offence, but I'd rather have
that than a broken infrastructure.

With kindness,
Carmen
