the way other projects work is we use
gerrit.ovirt.org as the master
git, and we mirror all projects to
github.com/ovirt
(I assume we can mirror to kimchi-project as well. though it will cause
some noise in the gerrit log)
is the intent to continue with github as the primary repo and not use
gerrit.ovirt.org?
We are having success operating with a traditional code submission and
review model (ie. all patches and review occurring on the mailing list)
and would prefer to continue with that model. Today we are using Google
Groups for a mailing list. I would actually prefer to move over to
oVirt's mailman infrastructure if possible (kimchi-devel). It would be
nice to host built rpms and debs on
ovirt.org and potentially make use
of jenkins, but we'll have to explore if this can be done without an
ovirt gerrit repo.
We would also be open to some branding changes (use of the oVirt logo,
interface CSS enhancements, etc) but the most important technical pieces
are IMO:
* Synchronizing on a VM "hand-off" protocol so kimchi VMs can be easily
transfered into an existing oVirt data center.
* Packaging kimchi as an official oVirt Node plugin
* Supporting the Spice protocol in kimchi
Can you think of any other integration points that I may have missed?
