Bug#886096: lintian: Emit warnings for Alioth URLs in packaging (migration to Salsa)
> Can you help by drafting the specific tag (or tags?) and giving some
> examples of Vcs-Foo it should trigger on?
sure, zeroth draft:
Bad Vcs-* URLs include:
Vcs-(Arch|Cvs|Darcs|Hg|Bzr|Svn):.*debian\.org
Vcs-Git:.*(git|anonscm|alioth)\.debian\.org
Vcs-Browser:.*(svn|bzr|darcs|git|hg|anoncms|anonscm|alioth)\.debian\.org
vcs-field-uses-deprecated-infrastructure
The VCS-* field contains a URI pointing at the deprecated alioth.debian.org
infrastructure. The servers will become read-only in May 2018. Packages can
migrate to git hosting on salsa.debian.org.
For further information about salsa.debian.org, see:
https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa
HTTP redirects from alioth to salsa can be made by requesting that they added
to the AliothRewriter project:
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/AliothRewriter/
Tools to help with the migration exist, including:
https://salsa.debian.org/mehdi/salsa-scripts/
For the others who have contributed to this bug -- anything else I've
forgotten?
