Leaving SVN and SourceForge, using Git and GitHub

Dear followers,

In a previous post we mentionned that we had created an official account on GitHub but at that time the migration was not complete. We still used internally the SVN repository hosted on SourceForge and in particular for our BuildBot to generate the Nightly Builds. The git repository was synced with the SVN repository.

Since last week, we have migrated all our tools to use the git repository hosted on GitHub as the official source code of GPAC. The SVN repository at SourceForge will not be maintained anymore. In fact, recent commits have already been made to GitHub which are not present on the SVN.

As part of that migration, we have changed the numbering of GPAC’s binaries. New builds now use a numbering in the form of 0.5.2-DEV-<number-of-commits-since-last-release>-<latest-git-commit-hash>-<git-branch>.

Note also that GPAC is now also automatically built on TravisCI when a commit is pushed to the repository or when a pull request is made. We hope this move to git and GitHub will help improving the code. So don’t hesitate to fork, fix and make pull requests.

The GPAC team.
