Github mirror is broken

[robe]

I don't think the github mirror is working. I committed something today and still hasn't reached github.

It was a patch to fix travis. Anyway I've been playing with travis some more and will put in another ticket and commit to upgrade trunk to 9.5 testing.

I'm stuck with the mirror. The problem is that I'm unable to setup a script to re-create the syncrhonization environment, mostly due to authors mapping having changed over time.

I remember I had to deal with this in the (recent) past but I forgot how I did, so if anyone wants to help, what we need is a script to setup git-svn in a way that produces the exact same commit HASHES as the one already in the current mirrors, and from there allows to git svn fetch later revisions.

Attempts to produce such a script are here: ​https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/postgis/repository-sync-scripts

You'll need to login and to be granted access, please request it here or to me by mail (strk@…)

[strk]

For those who can read, I filed a local issue about fixing the script here: ​https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/postgis/repository-sync-scripts/issues/2

[strk]

​https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/CodeMirrors should be back working. It's been a bloody adventure to setup the repository-sync-scripts, but now they should allow anyone to setup a local git-svn mechanism, and a mirrorer.

Actually, it would not be bad if someone would want to try it

strk is this still running on your machine? would it make more sense to move to debbie? Was also going to upgrade her to 4GB VM in a bit so she can handle more stuff.

[robe]

strk okay I got as far as doing a manual synch on debbie.

I got this error:

Warning: Permanently added 'gitlab.com,52.167.219.168' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
git push gitlab --tags
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Should I create a key for debbie and give you the associated public key?

Also not sure what to do after the make daemon. How the CGI script thing comes into play.

[robe]

forgot to mention I created the synch folder on root - /postgis-git-synch

[robe]

strk,

Okay as you suggested, I created an account postgis-git-synch and made it the owner of the repo and then su-d in as that to do synch.

I don't think I have a gitlab account to fix the issue and that's the one it's complaining about. I just registered on gitlab using my github account (robe2). You think you can give my account access to the postgis repo on gitlab?

[strk]

Regina I made you (robe2) admin for the gitlab mirror. I actually wonder if we should have a postgis-bot account on gitlab for those pushes…

[robe]

I like the idea of a postgis bot account. Want to do that so it's not attached to any of us?

[strk]

We need a third parent here, or it'll become too traditional

[robe]

3rd parent? oh btw not sure how to setup a bot account. I allowed postgis-debbie,for postgis commit (which strangely it allowed), but do I need a unique email to setup a osgeo account?

[strk]

yes you need a unique email to setup an osgeo account. Use the psc alias.

[strk]

the same (unique email address) probably also applies to github and gitlab accounts
