• Sqitch Update: The Plan

  https://justatheory.com/2012/05/sqitch-plan

  I gave my first presentation on Sqitch at PGCon last week. The slides are on Slideshare and the PGCon site. It came together at the last minute, naturally. I was not able to pay as close attention to PGCon sessions as I would have liked, as I was doing last minute hacking to get the deploy command working on PostgreSQL, and then writing the slides (which are based on the tutorial). I was pleased with the response, given that this is very much a project that is still under heavy development and available only as a very very early alpha. There was great discussion and feedback afterward, which I appreciate.

• The Future of SVN::Notify

  https://justatheory.com/2009/04/svn-notify-future

  This week, I imported pgTAP into GitHub. It took me a day or so to wrap my brain around how it’s all supposed to work, with generous help from Tekkub. But I’m starting to get the hang of it, and I like it. By the end of the day, I had sent push requests to Test::More and Blosxom Plugins. I’m well on my way to being hooked.

• Sqitch — VCS-powered SQL Change Management

  https://justatheory.com/2012/04/sqitch-draft

  Back in January, I wrote three posts outlining some ideas I had about a straight-forward, sane way of managing SQL change management. The idea revolved around specifying scripts to deploy and revert in a plan file, and generating that plan file from VCS history. I still feel pretty good about the ideas there, and work has agreed to let me write it and open-source it. Here is the first step making it happen. I call it “Sqitch.”

• Migrating Bricolage CVS and SVN to Git

  https://justatheory.com/2009/04/bricolage-to-git

  Now that I’ve successfully migrated the old Bricolage SourceForge CVS repository to Git, and also migrated Subversion to Git, it’s time to stitch the two repositories together into one with all history intact. I’m glad to say that figuring out how to do so took substantially less time than the first two steps, thanks in large part to the great help from “doener,” “Ilari,” and “Fissure” on the Freenode #git channel.
