[META] Port Version Control API to Drupal 7

Postponed at least until we have clear the plan for 6.x ;-) #893012: [meta] Blockers to a 6.x-2.0 release.

And we at least have tag now!

versioncontrol-6.x-2.0-release-blocker

Let's revisit this when we have a tarball for 6.x-2.0

FYI, if anyone wants to help I started a D7 sandbox -- http://drupal.org/sandbox/ericduran/1275132

Please be nice, this is a sandbox project for my own purposes. I know the 6.x version is still a work in progress. Just letting people know in case they're interested.

This sandbox project will never become a full project, if when the version control maintainers start working on a 7 branch they're welcome to look at my code, and start from there or not. ;-)

anyways still a work in progress just an fyi.

FYI: for the maintainers, the d7 port on the sandbox above isn't complete but its usable right now, I'm still missing some work, but its hard to find all the issues without a project using it. So I also started porting the version_control_git to d7 (http://drupal.org/sandbox/ericduran/1288456) which is also pretty usable.

I'm working on commitlog now. But right now you should be able to see all your logs, with the correct user mapping, and the feeds. Still missing some work.

I'll be trying to track the D6 branch for any changes, Also I'm willing to co-maintain the d7 branch if you guys decided to use any of the code in the port. Just an FYI.

Also is there any group where discussions take place? Also I'm also working on a port to d7 for repoview for git.

So my port is behind a couple of patches. but it should still be good.

This is more than ready to test. I've been running it locally for some time now.

The amount of changes required weren't really much but you can review the fork over at http://drupal.org/sandbox/ericduran/1275132

Also I have a version_control_git port that should also be ready to review.

I'm missing some clean-up when I do, I'll post a patch here. I'll also try to catch up on the latest commits.

All feedback welcome.

When I try to clone your port I get the following:

warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

The folder created by clone only have .git and nothing more. What can I do to download your port?

@cerdiogenes

Try this, it will checkout the only branch he has

git clone http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/ericduran/1275132.git versioncontrol_7_sandbox -b 7.x-2.x

It's round about a year of silence in this project (last code-changing commit 2011-05-22).

• What is the status of this project?
• Has the future a d7-branch?
• Or is there a successor?
• Where can/we help?

It's round about a year of silence in this project (last code-changing commit 2011-05-22).

I guess you are not looking at the right place, please see http://drupal.org/node/148301/commits (6.x-2.x branch)

What is the status of this project?

I would say healthy, but not so active.

Has the future a d7-branch?
Or is there a successor?

Definitely, it will have a D7 branch.

Where can/we help?

Please take a look to the current issue queue, you have a little summary at #893012: [meta] Blockers to a 6.x-2.0 release, but in general the most important issues are on the versioncontrol-6.x-2.0-release-blocker tag as mentioned there. Any help is welcome :-)

BTW, about this issue, I will be pretty happy to go with the D7 version but after having a stable 6.x-2.x released, not before.

Note that this is related to a proposed Google Summer of Code student project, see top of http://groups.drupal.org/node/138009 -- interested students may consider applying (student applications will be accepted March 26 19:00 UTC to April 6 19:00 UTC).

@holtzermann17 :-/ My sandbox already has a D7 port. I haven't touch it in a while, but I think we should sprint tomorrow at Drupalcon, I'm not sure it'll be enough work for a google summer of code.

I actually wrote a GSoC proposal to port the VCApi to D7, you can find it here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/219999

Next to the VCApi I would also like to port vcapi_git, vapi_project and all the activity stuff I did last year. Your D7 port also doesn't include the generic-reposync and event-entities stuff, am I right?

Some D7 port related commits:

Updating for D7 doc comment standards.
Adding an implementation of hook_registry_files_alter() to load our interfaces file before ctools starts loading our plugins.
Fixed a typo
Preventing a notice from being thrown

Anyone have any more status updates post DrupalCon?

Lots of progress since May(see git log --since="May 16th, 2012" --oneline 7.x-1.x), but not really specific to D7 port, but instead about bringing awesomeness and stability to the module.

In the other side, the API is working(you can almost say ported) on D7 :-), but I guess we still need some views-related fixing. When that is done I guess we can close this and start with individual issues.

Also, it worths to remember that we(at least I) want to release a stable 6.x-2.0 before closing this.

A lot of D7/views3 related porting is now done, so I would say this D7 port is mainly ready.

I guess it's time to look back to #893012: [meta] Blockers to a 6.x-2.0 release.

PS: This issue is meta: we are not attaching patches here, and instead adding changes directly.

@marvil07, since #893012: [meta] Blockers to a 6.x-2.0 release is closed in deference to the versioncontrol-6.x-2.0-release-blocker tag, please roll an alpha1 of this 7.x code branch and let's close this meta issue.

Release node added: 7.x-1.0-alpha1(just waiting on the tarball for node publishing).
