Cutting the Gborg throat

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have been looking at the migration of Gborg lately. It looks like the only two active projects on that site are Slony, and pljava. Libpqxx has recently moved to their own Trac site.

I would like to suggest the following course of action.

1. We set a read only date of 12/31/06

This means that all login capability, register capability, mailing lists, bug tracking, cvs etc... will be shut off. It will only be up for reference.

2. We set a shut down date of 03/31/07

This means it is down, rm -rf, whatever it takes.

Why?

Because past performance on the migration of gborg to pgfoundry has shown that it will not be done, regardless of who volunteers or who *thinks* they have time to do it.

So what will this really take?

1. The respective project members need to register their projects with pgfoundry.

2. The respective project members need to migrate their tickets if they see fit.

3. The respective members need to register the email lists they want.

4. There needs to be communication between one project at a time to arrange a cut-over of their mailing lists. We have the ability to import mbox files into mailman so their mail archives will be preserved.

Question: How is CVS handled on Gborg? Do they have their own repos? If so we can just move them to pgfoundry yes?

Except for the pending screaming and yelling... is there really anything wrong with this? To cut a few things off at the pass:

I think it is completely reasonable that we ask fellow community members to help in their own migration as this is a gratis service. I also think if those members were asked, they would be happy to help.

I am willing to have Devrim and Darcy help with this.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
