Moving Orocos KDL main development to github.com/orocos

Hi all,

I'm considering moving the main development of Orocos KDL from
git.mech.kuleuven to github. Github has some nice features like
integrated issues, wiki, pull-request, travis-ci integration which
will hopefully facilitate community contributions.

I already mirrored the git.mech.kuleuven.be repository to
http://github.com/orocos/orocos_kinematics_dynamics

Any objections?

Ruben

I have a question on the branches (I already had them for the kuleuven
repositories, but anyways).

What is the "stable" KDL branch ? master ?

AFAIK there is none currently. We probable could create a stable
branch from the latest release tag.

no clue,
but maybe this is an opportunity to merge the kinfam_refactored branch in master
about which I send some mails during the summer

my only concern is I think that the rest of Orocos primary development occurs on gitorious. if that's true, why separate them?

For one reason, pull requests are still broken on my gitorious account
(I don't receive emails) and github evolved enormously in usability
and collaborative development tooling.

So that would be a reason for me to not open new projects on
gitorious, but Ruben might have different reasons as well.
