Indeed, git@salsa.debian.org:debian/ddp.git is an empty repository.

Yes, this was just created.

Somebody made a mistake, I'd guess.  Or maybe somebody thought about storing
shared ddp infastructure scripts there?  We do have
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/ddp/ddp.git/ : empty too.

That was not a mistake, the idea was to move all of SVN to that GIT repository. It is currently empty because the migration has not taken place yet.

Ideally refcard, faq, release-notes, project-history etc. would all be
standalone git repositories (after possibly being converted from svn to git) at
salsa.

We can create a DDP group in Salsa for those repositories, how is this done? I am certainly new to Salsa myself.

I just saw that

 ddp/debian-reference
 ddp/maint-guide
 ddp/securing-debian-howto

have a git repo @ alioth; those would have to get migrated from alioth to salsa
(if they haven't yet).

FWIW, the securing-debian-howto GIT repository at Alioth does not have the same contents as SVN. This was migrated from SVN and then changes were done to migrate from debiandoc-sgml to XML. We will migrate this as an independent repository to Salsa, but this has not taken place yet.

Best regards
