Hi,
I wonder what we can or should do to improve the state of the project. It seems to me: * the last release was 0.12.2, released on 17.07.2011, not enough progress to create a release since. * that is a maintenance release, the last major version was opensc 0.12.0 in 22-Dec-2010. * discussions about new server / some migration / some improvement etc. are similar old, no significant results yet While there have been some proposals, e.g. in the thread about the future of the server, there hasn't been any real discussion, no back and forth about the merrits of the different proposals, and no convergence on one option or decission by anyone. It seems to me the state of the project is defunct: while there are requests, proposals, options and offerings, we are not getting towards a decission or action it seems, as noone decides anything or gets people to agree or to do things. I haven't touched a smart card in over a year, so don't expect me to do anything - that wouldn't work. But if anyone is still concerned about the project, I think it is time you take action. Don't look for anyone else, it is you or noone. But many people offered help, if you want to drive the project forward.

We are preparing 0.13.0 release on the base of the master/staging branch of Github OpenSC/OpenSC. Now it's at rc1. The candidates have been relatively well tested with some cards. The nightly builds and release candidates are on the OpenSC file server and in CI service. My intention is to publish the next major release during the last two weeks of November. There are still few regression issues with MacOS and old cards. I guess it's a good occasion to migrate the project. What is the procedure to follow when publishing a new major release ? > * discussions about new server / some migration / some improvement > etc. are similar old, no significant results yet > > While there have been some proposals, e.g. in the thread about the > future of the server, there hasn't been any real > discussion, no back and forth about the merrits of the different > proposals, and no convergence on one option or decission > by anyone. > > It seems to me the state of the project is defunct: while there are > requests, proposals, options and offerings, we are not > getting towards a decission or action it seems, as noone decides > anything or gets people to agree or to do things. > > I haven't touched a smart card in over a year, so don't expect me to > do anything - that wouldn't work. > > But if anyone is still concerned about the project, I think it is time > you take action.

I'll have more free time: - sources: all sources will migrate to github; - CI: CI server is currently hosted by 'opensc.fr' ; - download: on the same platform can be hosted the file server; - TRAC (wiki?): it seems that Peter Stuge proposed to do something with Trac. Peter, if you are here, can you take this part, or at least explain how it could be done, please? If no suggestions, Trac can also be hosted by 'opensc.fr' . - mailling list: the same, if no other suggestions, I'm ready to install/migrate it to 'opensc.fr' platform. Would be nice if one of the experts explain what is the actions to follow for such migration. > Regards, Andreas Kind wishes, Viktor. > _______________________________________________ > opensc-devel mailing list > [hidden email] > http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel > _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel |
Hello, -- 2012/11/11 Viktor Tarasov <[hidden email]> I propose to start migration the week 19-25.11 . I'll have more free time: I just migrated the following projects to github on the OpenSC organization:
- libp11 - engine_pkcs11 - pam_p11 - pam_pkcs11 - pkcs11-help. Something fails in the authors names conversion I have not tried to migrate:
- OpenCT - OpenSC-Java Aren't these projects obsolete now?
I used svn2git [1] with the attached authors.txt file - TRAC (wiki?): it seems that Peter Stuge proposed to do something with Trac. github provides a wiki and bug tracking system.
- mailling list: the same, if no other suggestions, I'm ready to install/migrate it to 'opensc.fr' platform. opensc-project.org use mailman as the list manager and
# list_lists 5 matching mailing lists found: Mailman - [no description available] opensc-announce - A mailing list for OpenSC announcements opensc-commits - OpenSC source code commit notifications opensc-devel - Development of OpenSC and other smart card related software opensc-user - (INACTIVE) A mailing list for OpenSC users I can retrieve the list of subscribers using list_members(8). Vitkor, it looks like you do not have access to the opensc-project.org system. I can help you with the migration. Viktor, I am not/no more a Unix system admin. But I volunteer to help if needed. I think it is a good idea to have more than one (you?) system administrator. Andreas, the host available at opensc-project.org will disapear at the end of the year 2012 [2].

I think that what Andreas was saying is that someone else needs to be root and care for the machine. I don't expect that it will be any problem whatsoever to keep the VM around until whenever it is easy to change DNS, as long as someone is actually taking care of the system. Of course when noone is able to and other offers aren't useful, then all that remains is to rely on free (beer) services like github or SF. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel |

Educating someone on how to do a migration is as I'm sure you know a whole lot more work than performing the migration. If there's desire I'm of course still happy to host a Trac, but please keep in mind that Trac is a lot less useful when source code is somewhere else.

I think even this is way too much to expect from those who do put resources into the project. Noone who is contributing seems to have much experience from hosting, so discussion about hosting is really difficult. (I may have plenty of experience, but I don't contribute very much to the project.) > It seems to me the state of the project is defunct: while there are > requests, proposals, options and offerings, we are not getting > towards a decission or action it seems, as noone decides anything > or gets people to agree or to do things. There's a fairly fundamental disagreement between development styles. I e.g. advocate security-conscious development and great results, even if slow, while everyone else who has spoken on that matter advocates fast change with perhaps less importance on technical quality and elegance. It's sad that less-than-great results is acceptable in open source under any circumstance, but since I'm not even putting development resources into the project it doesn't matter at all what I think about that. IMO it's largely a waste of time to migrate away from an existing working system unless the services really can not be updated in place. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel |

It seems that decision to move all sources to github is accepted. Do you mean that with sources on github it would be more useful to use the bug system and wiki on github, as Ludovic proposed, and not the Trac installed on someone's platform ? (I need some time to discover Trac's internals and how it interacts with SCM .) As far as I understood, in any case we have to start from sqlite dump of the current OpenSC Trac.

I don't know how well github issues and wiki integrate with repos - what I've seen isn't too convincing. :\ Trac somewhere else will not automatically know what happens in repositories on github. I don't know if github can be told to push out events to somewhere else. Worst case it is of course possible to poll github for changes, but that's not really nice. > (I need some time to discover Trac's internals and how it interacts > with SCM .) The Trac repo model unfortunately doesn't fit Git too well, so Trac+Git operation is not as simple as it could have been. The reason is simply that Trac is from a time with no Git. Internals aside, external interaction amounts to telling Trac that a commit was added to a repository, by running trac-admin changeset added $reponame $changeid for each new commit. If history rewriting is allowed then it's neccessary to run a different command, resync, whenever a rewrite happens. > As far as I understood, in any case we have to start from sqlite > dump of the current OpenSC Trac. Andreas, can you do it, please ? Unfortunately the sqlite database isn't enough. If I'm going to do a migration please just add my key on the server. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel |

SF = sourceforge While I disagree with most other uses of SF because of their quite unfriendly terms of service (a function of US law of course) I think that mailing lists are OK. Subscribing to lists doesn't require an SF account, and SF doesn't add overly much spam to the posts. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [hidden email] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel |

I think the wiki pages are valuable. the bug tracking I see as nice to have, but not essential. Of course if someone wants to invest time into this - then it is also your choice to take the proper direction.
