[opensuse-factory] Long live GitHub, clean up jour old mess!
Hi everybody, As you probably all kinda know, most (all?) openSUSE relevant projects are hosted on GitHub in openSUSE project[1]. But unfortunately, we still have plenty of old projects at gitorious[2] and some projects even have sourceforge page/google code page. If you are maintainer of some repository, please take a look and try to take down old obsolete repos. Admins[3] can help you! If you are still using gitorious (or anything else), please consider moving your project to be together with the rest of the openSUSE folks. Why should you care? People will more easily find where your project lives! a) they actually can use it/contribute b) they don't think you are dead Thanks for cleaning up your stuff openSUSE Team [1] https://github.com/opensuse [2] http://gitorious.org/opensuse [3] admin@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Michal, thanks for reviving this effort. While most people already moved, some others have their private stuff still hosted on Gitorious. It's probably best to have a whish-list of projects that should move. Stuff we (as the greater openSUSE community) don't care about should follow the way of the dodo. In the past, it was decided to keep some more important Gitorious projects (namely OBS) and provide links to Github. I guess the world nows that Gitorious is dead, so let's drop a lot. -- Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

Can you provide a howto to move a given gitorious repo to github? Olaf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Do NOT do this one! Mail admin@opensuse.org with repo name you want and your github nickname. They will create a repo for you under openSUSE project and give you rights. Than you can simply push your existing git there.

Hmm, how do I do that or does the opensuse project admin need to do that? I would like to get rid of https://gitorious.org/opensuse/pk-update-icon, note that I don't need a github subproject for it since I've already converted it to mecurial and moved it to https://hg.guido-berhoerster.org/projects/pk-update-icon/ about three months ago. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If you are owner of that repo, login to gitorious, go to that repo, click on edit repo on the right side and delete repo button will appear. -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry that I have been inexact. It depends under which umbrella you should put your stuff. If it's been _really_ an "openSUSE" repo before, do as Michal explains. But if it's been your private pet code that happened to end up under the openSUSE umbrella on Gitorious you should proceed as I outlined. Traditionally, Gitorious was a junkyard for everybody that felt even loosely attached to (open)SUSE so: No, not every OBS fork or rewrite in $LANGUAGE or every osc plugin belongs to openSUSE on Github!
