[Scummvm-devel] Moving more stuff from SVN to github

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

seems the git move worked out pretty well for us. Now it would be nice to move more (if not all) stuff from SVN to git. 

Let's look at <http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scummvm/>: We have several dirs for various websites, including some configuration files for software running there:
  buildbot
  doxygen
  forum
  web
  web-planet
  wiki

We could put these together into a single "web" git repository, each in its own subdir. I'd rename
  forum -> forums
  web-planet -> planet
  web ->www

This way, each foo.scummvm.org site would correspond to a director "foo". Of course, we could also have one git repository, but I think it's much easier to have them all together, and it makes it a tad more convenient to share images, CSS and stuff.

Then there is the "media" SVN module. This is quite important, as it contains the "master" versions of our logo and icon, and scripts to generate specific icons in various sizes and formats. These are then used on our websites, in scummvm itself, and also in the (GUI) tools. I think this should become a repository of its own. But one could also argue that it should be in "web", or even in "scummvm"...


This finally leaves the docs, engines-data, scummex and vendor SVN modules (omitting scummvm and tools). They are all obsolete or dead, and don't need to converted at this time.


What do you think? Does the above make sense, do you agree? If so: Any volunteers to work on this migration? Maybe wjp could re-activate his svn->git scripts to tackle the conversion? *g*.

Cheers,
Max
