QtCS 2018 Code Repository Management

Where to share code for blog posts etc?

Use Case 1: Blog article, git.qt.io, couldn't contribute

• Samuel could create account
• Could not contribute (should have rights to either fork, or

 create merge requests ...), adjust permissions ...

Use Case 2: mapbox wants to share code for Qt to include to

• Plugin for qtlocation / git submodule with special/restricted license
• Sources can be open (shared) though (discussion still ongoing)
• LGPL compatibility?
• Restrict access via git submodule?

=> Regarding Licensing: To be discussed with legal and Lars Knoll

Places to upload code to

• code.qt.io / codereview.qt-project.org
  • Tight control
• git.qt.io (gitlab instance)

Proposal

• "blog posts" repository in codereview.qt-project.org

Gitlab vs gerrit - what's the right technology?

• Discussion tomorrow

How to give CLA's?

• Isn't that covered by Qt account conditions these days?
• Company agreements are still done in gerrit

Take away

• git.qt.io is managed by IT - let's raise a bug report and discuss with them
  • Should support external users better
  • Porposal: Integrate into CLA
  • Integrate into Qt Account
  • Create public default user group?
