| ojwb | snail: though perhaps people commit more often with git | 02:24 |
|---|---|---|
| * ojwb seems to | 02:24 | |
| ojwb | if you want to cherry pick, it's easier to combine small commits than have to split a big one | 02:25 |
| mwhudson | ajmitch: the second highest on codeplex is "xml schema", where do i sign up to get me some of that? | 02:26 |
| snail | ojwb: encouraging people to commit more often being a good thing, of course... | 02:27 |
| ojwb | sure (well up to a point) | 02:27 |
| ojwb | but that exaggerates the popularity of github | 02:27 |
| snail | mwhudson: i think what that means is SOAP or some other random XML based protocol | 02:28 |
| snail | ojwb: perhaps | 02:28 |
| ojwb | clearly it's very popular even taking that into accont | 02:28 |
| ojwb | account | 02:28 |
| chilts | you gotta also wonder if that takes into account the 25,000 package mirror of CPAN | 02:48 |
| chilts | and of course, lots of people cloning each others repos | 02:49 |
| chilts | it's kinda like LOCs | 02:49 |
| chilts | or 'number of tests passed' | 02:49 |
| chilts | or 'cups of tea drank today' as a sign of productivity | 02:49 |
| chilts | :) | 02:49 |
| ojwb | i get the impression that "forking and commiting a few changes" is github's answer to "starting a new project on sourceforge" | 02:52 |
| chilts | yeah, they always talk about the number of repos, which isn't the same as the number of projects | 02:52 |
| ajmitch | mwhudson: I don't think you want 'some of that' | 03:15 |
| mwhudson | ojwb: omg yes | 03:19 |
| * ojwb wonders whether the selection criteria for that study were "the sites we could think of" or if they attempted to determine sites which were of a comparable size | 03:20 | |
| ojwb | launchpad isn't there, and seems reasonably popular | 03:20 |
| mwhudson | launchpad would be difficult because many of the branches there are imports | 03:21 |
| ojwb | there's a fair few mirrors on github | 03:23 |
| ojwb | xapian has one for example | 03:23 |
| Bacta | Hi all | 12:10 |
