Yes, it is possible. However the starting point for creating a git repository was planned to be at garage. I have to re-think the setup if a project does not need to have a garage entry first.

We should remember that having a garage project does not mean that we have to utilize all the GForge features. Every project can disable any GForge module, so a Nokia project may just use garage for account management and SCM (source code management) purposes. All other modules, like tracker, forum, lists would be disabled.

Just to make sure: will it be possible to browse all the projects hosted in git.maemo.org from a centralized location? A problem with svn at garage is that you have to go project by project to know what is in there.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 10:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Would it be a way to easily distinguish the Nokia projects from the rest? I'm not even sure this is needed or useful, but it might be a useful detail. In the worst case we could create a plain HTML/wiki index somewhere and link the relevant projects from there.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 10:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

At "registration" time (let it be on garage or elsewhere) we can certainly ask a checkbox to be ticked in case of a Nokia project, but the question is where to store this info and how to re-use. If we had the garage entry only than it would not be a problem, since we have this feature already. --[[User:feri|feri]] 10:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

git.maemo.org without garage project

A project should be able to use git.maemo.org without having to create a garage project. This is specially true for the Nokia teams and releases. For instance, some teams might think of using git.maemo.org as default platform for development and send the packages to the Maemo SW integration from there. Having a maemo.org account (= "garage account") is fine. Is this possibility being contemplated?--qgil 10:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is possible. However the starting point for creating a git repository was planned to be at garage. I have to re-think the setup if a project does not need to have a garage entry first. We should remember that having a garage project does not mean that we have to utilize all the GForge features. Every project can disable any GForge module, so a Nokia project may just use garage for account management and SCM (source code management) purposes.

Yes, it will be possible. --feri 10:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Any way to distinguish the Nokia projects?
