Thanks for bringing this up John. I think renaming the master branch would be a good area to focus on immediately after Quincy is out, when changing these pieces will be less disruptive. We discussed this in the ceph leadership team meeting while Sage was out in 2020 - folks agreed it was a good idea, and there are several places to update. From the notes: places to update: - qa suites - teuthology - build scripts - release scripts - docs - pull requests (script can retarget them) git symlink-ref does not work with github, need to rename the branch (e.g. git branch -m ...)

I suspect this might be a painful process given all of the bailing wire and duct tape involved in ceph-build.git and jenkins, but it might also be mostly handled with search/replace. > > s > > On Mon, Jan 10, 2022 at 9:52 AM John Bent <johnbent@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> All, >> >> Has a conversation been started yet about renaming the default development branch from master to main?
