github.com mirrors for new post split-nitb repos

Hi! yesterday I saw that the github.com mirrors of the osmo-{bsc,msc,hlr,mgw,sgsn,ggsn} repositories had not yet been created so far. We have mirrors on github so we can at times look at what people are doing in public clones of the repositories. This is useful as in the 21st century, a lot of developers have to have adopted a quality of "fork and never contribute back" attitude :/ In the past, we had to ask github staff to manually configure a mirror, as this is not possible to do via their website for some reason. It seems that this is now discouraged and they suggest to use a post-receive hook that replicates to github. I chose another path and used the already existing gerrit replication plugin which we use to replicate form gerrit to git.osmocom.org. This replication plugin is now also pushing to the respective github.com mirrors. I'm contacting github.com staff to convert all repositories to this new-style setup. This ensures the setup is identical for all mirrors, and has the added benefit that we get quicker replication than the once-per-hour poll. The setup is documented at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmocom-servers/wiki/Github_mirrors Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
