Description Glyn Normington CLA 2011-12-15 09:20:15 EST 
Even though the Gemini Management project metadata ([1]) appears to refer to the project's git repository appropriately ([2]), the repository is not mirrored at github. This would be useful so contributors can fork at github rather than having to set up a new github repository.

Chris and Wayne take the point on these things.

When did you add this repository to the project's metadata?

I'm asking because if it's been there a while, then I have some troubleshooting to do.

I didn't do it, but asking around, we suspect it's been there for a couple of weeks.

So there's probably nothing broken. There have, however, been enough additions over the past couple of weeks to ask the GitHub folks to run the import script.

Can we ask them to run it under a cron job instead?

As I understand it, there are technical issues that prevent the process from being initiated totally automatically. Every time I sent an update request, I offer my assistance to make this process easier. So far, the good folks at GitHub have not taken me up on that offer.

Oh well, thanks.

FYI: Github ran the mirror script today:

GitHub mirrors are basically broken.  We can't fix this.
