Git infrastructure delayed

We are still waiting for 67 people to convert their account from password to ssh. As we can not shut down passwd based svn access until they are all done, we will probably not make our next deadline. Today for example we made no progress at all.

Those 67 are the contributors that have used their password based account this year, so we will not move forward without them. Please do not complain that we won’t make our deadlines!

  1. What about just keeping a list of those people handy, and then moving on with the transition, and if somewhere down the road they find they can’t login, then they’ll contact you, and you’ll verify that the people contacting you are on that original list, and then you’ll help them get migrated.

  2. Jason – It’s all in them ‘finding out’ they can’t log-in. Might put off a couple of them.

  3. Please consider, that there are also developer who cannot do anything (or do less) before the migration to git is done. I also expect other people waiting for the migration like me, before starting to contribute for their first time.

    I think it is impossible to wait for each single person.

  4. We are not talking about a single person. We are talking about a group of 65 developers. Some of which we personally approached already.
