[MITgcm-devel] Moving remaining pieces to github

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Oliver,

I hope you are doing well.

There are still few pieces that are under CVS that would be good to move to GitHub:
1) the old "mitgcm.org" with the original web-site src files.
2) some scripts to (a) run daily regression tests (currently in: MITgcm_contrib/test_scripts)
                   (b) to collect the regression-test output, organize and check these.
   this later part is mostly in "mitgcm.org/scripts/", and I could take care of bringing
   in the 1 or 2 missing files once mitgcm.org/scripts/ is moved to git.

The original web-site src files are still used to make the test web-page, this might
change one day, but this should not prevent us to move this to GitHub.
We could decide to convert mitgcm.org/ CVS to git (as you did for MITgcm and verification_other
plus few other repos) and put this under MITgcm, at the same level as verification_other
 ( git at github.com:MITgcm/verification_other.git ). Regarding name, may be "web_legacy" ?

For the other bits, they could go to an other GitHub repos, also at the same level,
called "regression_test", with one directory "run_tests" (<- from MITgcm_contrib/test_scripts/)
and an other directory "collect_tests" (<- from mitgcm.org/scripts).
I don't know if it's possible to make a "converted" git repos from 2 CVS dirs, and
if it is, how much work this requires.

so what is your opinion about this ? and do you (or others) have better suggestions ?

And just for information, the location of CVS repos are, for 
 1)  at: zany.mit.edu:/data/ORWELL/export-9/gcmpack/mitgcm.org/
 2a) at: zany.mit.edu:/data/ORWELL/export-9/gcmpack/MITgcm_contrib/test_scripts/
 2b) at: zany.mit.edu:/data/ORWELL/export-9/gcmpack/mitgcm.org/scripts/

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
