Sourcemirror at gitorious is closing down, where to find it then?

Sourcemirror at gitorious is closing down, where to find it then?

[Norbert Melzer]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 290 bytes --]

Since gitorious got acquired by gitlab it will shut down its service end of
May 2015 (https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/).

Where will ConTeXts source mirror be hosted then?

Will it get transfered over to gitlab? Github? Bitbucket? Sourceforge?
Somewhere else?

First: we need a reliable repository

We have a collection of ConTeXt releases that I need to convert into a
git repository (there was a discontinuity back in October that I need
to fix, so that we'll have a complete history).

If someone is willing to spend a few hours fixing/completing the
script that will turn the zips into git commits, let me know and I'll
send you my half-finished work.


Second: there are a bunch of (outdated) mirrors that will be brought
up to date again once the first step is complete

- There is a mirror on GitHub (https://github.com/contextgarden/context)
- There is a mirror on contextgarden
(http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context)
- I conveniently locked myself out when creating a new username
(context) on GitLab by making a typo when entering the email address
and I'm not sure where and how to ask for help. Maybe the request for
username expires after a while if nobody confirms it? Or I could
hypothetically create that "email with a typo" and resend the
confirmation email, then disable the email account again. If someone
can point me out the place where I could ask for unlocking the
"context" account, I would be grateful. I might just as well try luck
on the generic email address.
- I'm not a particular fan of sourceforge. I see no reason to host a
mirror there. Their user interface is simply horrible. They got a bit
better over time, but ...
- BitBucket used to be hg-only. I see no reason not to have a mirror
there as well (but I don't see any particular need for yet another
mirror either). If there are enough people who think that having yet
another mirror on BitBucket as well would be useful for whatever
reason, let me know.


(I don't know how GitLab works now and whether they fixed that
annoying bug, but we had some serious issues with the Unicorn server
behind it. Cloning the repository was often stuck/broken for no good
reason, just because the server thought that cloning was supposed to
be done in under 30 seconds, else it broke the connection as "stale".
Maybe they'll have to fix it now if all those giant projects like Qt
switch to their service.)

yours isn't less reliable that gitorious as yours stays around -)

that would be nice indeed

i suppose i could commit but maintaining a git repos with all these 
dependencies is no fun for me

no need as we have the supelec for luatex and so ...

indeed, a volunteer using that could also keep it up to date

Hi Norbert,

GitHub has a ConTeXt repo: https://github.com/contextgarden/context/.

And there is another repo at http://git.contextgarden.net/groups/context.

The only issue is that their last commit is five months old.

git mirror [was: Re: Sourcemirror at gitorious is closing down, where to find it then?]

Hey guys,

sorry for the late reply, this kind of got buried in my inbox so
only now I noticed the thread on the ML archives. Nevertheless:

My Git mirror on Bitbucket still keeps the repo in sync:

      https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/

Originally based on the Gitorious repo, it has been tracking
Context development for a year or so by now. As a feature over
Marius’s approach it keeps the beta and current in separate
branches and will also pull from the Garden just in case:

      https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/branches

I’ve been relying on the mirror as my primary source for change
notifications and diffs of the Context source for some time now.

For those interested in setting up a mirror themselves I can
provide the source of the bot. There’s some docs but I took some
shortcuts like hard-coding paths and SSH stuff so it might take
a little effort to get it up to full speed. OTOH doesn’t appear
to be unreliable and should continue working as long as the
Pragma website can be scraped in the same fashion ;)

Best,
Philipp

thanks. i could pull it the github windows client (the web interfaces 
cannot handle the large diffs)
