Folks, it seems that the only thing keeping us from migrating to Git is someone actually doing it. Fortunately, Gaudenz already did all the heavy lifting, and so I am taking it upon myself to see the migration through. Here's what's going to happen: On Wednesday, 02 April, around 09:00 UTC, the existing Subversion repositories will be switched read-only. Please try to commit any changes you may have in your tree before that. If you forget, then you will have to obtain the diff and apply that to Git later. Shortly afterwards (let's say at 10:00 UTC), the Git repositories will go live. From this point on, all changes to the data in the repositories must be made via Git. Processes that are still using Subversion will continue to work, but will run against potentially stale data, as SVN is no longer updated. Please migrate them to Git as soon as possible. Unless there are major problems, we'll turn off all access to the Subversion repositories on 30 April. I am going to take care of IRC commit notifications, and Ganneff will switch over debconfX.debconf.org websites. I have prepared a wiki page to assist everyone in the process: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/GitMigration If you need help, don't hesitate to ask on the #debconf-team channel. If you prefer to use the mailing list for your questions, please put [Git] into the subject line to not distract the orga teams preparing conferences. The debconf-team repository was migrated all-in-one. However, the debconf-data repository no longer exists as such. Instead, there now exist repositories for each of the conference-subdirectories. This was mainly done to conserve space. Finally, just to appease the frightful: if this blows up, then there's a way to revert the whole migration, even if people have committed to Git since. See the wiki page. But I don't think it'll happen. Hope this answers all your questions. Cross your fingers for Wednesday! -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debconf.org> : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf14: Portland, OR, USA: http://debconf14.debconf.org
