Open Stack

OpenStack does not have operational or administrative ownership over the computers used by contributors. As such, the community should not accept or promote any policy which suggests a configuration that alters the behavior of systems beyond the scope of a local workspace used while working with OpenStack project(s). Official alterations of a *global* .gitignore are completely unacceptable, but if certain files are not to be specified in the .gitignore committed with the project then a policy related to modifying the $GIT_DIR/info/exclude would be an acceptable alternative.

Thanks,
Sam

Subject: [openstack-dev] [OpenStack-Dev] IDE extensions in .gitignore

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to see where we stand on IDE extensions in .gitignore files.
We seem to have some back and forth, one cycle there's a bug and a patch to add things like eclipse, idea etc and the next there's a bug and a patch to remove them.  I'd like to have some sort of consensus on what we want here.  I personally don't have a preference, I would just like to have consistency and quit thrashing back and forth.

Anyway, I'd like to see all of the projects agree on this... or even consider moving to a global .gitignore.  Thoughts??

John
