[Soot-list] Soot is now on github

[Bruno Dufour]

Dear all,

The migration to github is now complete. You can find the new repositories at: http://github.com/Sable. The exiting svn repo will remain available for now, but has been made read-only. All soot development will take place on the github repo from now on.

To help you with the transition, here are a few pointers :

- Github has a good "getting started" guide at http://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git. In particular, you *must* configure git with you name and email. This is how your commits will be identified. The steps from the github guide are reproduced here for convenience :

(from the terminal)
$ git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email at youremail.com"

- Eclipse has git support via the EGit plugin. More details about setting it up will be posted on the sable wiki soon.

- The get write access to the new repositories, you will need to contact Eric Bodden or myself to be added to the list of committers. You will need to create a github account for us to be able to grant write access to any repository. If you only want to contribute occasional patches, you do not need write access to the repo. Github's "pull request" feature is ideal for such situations.

- If you are new to git, you may want to read, or at least skim, the "Pro Git" book. It is available online, free of charge, at http://git-scm.com/book.

If you have any questions, issues or concerns about the migration, feel free to contact me.

Bruno
