Description Prasanna Kumar Kalever 2018-03-20 04:30:03 UTC
Description of problem:

Use github [1] for patch reviews and creating issue.

[1] https://github.com/gluster/gluster-block/

FWIW (and out of curiosity too), it'd be worth to mention why did we decide to move away from gerrit :-)

Comment 2 Nigel Babu 2018-03-20 09:14:11 UTC
Okay, I'm creating this checklist on the fly here.

1. Do you have a team on github with the correct people having commit access?
[Yes/No]

2. Are all your existing review requests closed on github?
[Yes/No]

3. Do you expect new review requests on gerrit to be rejected?
[Yes/No]

4. I will be switching your Gerrit repo to read-only and removing the sync to Github. Please acknowledge that this is okay.
[Yes/No]

1. Currently the upstream RFE's/issues/bugs/milestones are tracked in github, where as we encourage patches to be pushed to gerrit only. It is good to have everything at one place (As a fact supporting both is not possible)

2. Not everyone knows gerrit, for example we see new contributors directly send patches to github and asking them to send to gerrit looks an extra hop.

3. Personally, I do not see a real benefit in using gerrit and not github.

4. Also having everything at one place give us opportunity to address/answer the github issues faster (as we look at github more often than before)

Others can add/correct.

do you mean to ask in gerrit ?

We have open issues in github and gerrit, but all the commits are from within the team, so we can manage to send new review request and abandon the older once.

Not sure if that answers your question though.

Yes, may be with some good message if possible.

Yes.

@pranith, @vijay
Please acknowledge.

Thanks!

This was also asked multiple times by heketi team. So we also felt like it is better.
