Hey *,
Hope your holidays have been going well.
As you're all hopefully aware, Alioth has an expiration date [1]:
2018-05-01, with incoming mail service ending 2018-02-01.
Therefore we must take action soon, on at least these two topics:
1) provide a working mail adress in the Maintainer field.
Right now, most packages have this set:
Maintainer: Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers <pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
The only option that I know of is to replace that with
debian-ruby@lists.debian.org. Needs an upload of all packages
in any case (before 2018-02-01 preferably).
2) git hosting
Apparently we have about ~1300 git repositories on alioth.
I see two options here:
a) migrate to salsa.debian.org, under a new debian-ruby group.
Would need to request that group from the salsa admins.
b) migrate to salsa.debian.org, under the Debian group
("collab-maint").
Note that salsa.d.o is currently in beta for another 4 weeks or so,
but given the time pressure, I'd press for starting early.
Are we using any other alioth services?
Best,
Chris
