Re: [mod-security-users] Considering Migration to GitHub

[Ryan B. <RBa...@tr...>]

I wanted to update everyone to let them know that I have begun the process
of migrating the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set from SourceForge (SVN) to
GitHub (git).

Here is the current repo/data for testing -

Landing Page - http://spiderlabs.github.com/owasp-modsecurity-crs/
Git Repo - https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs

This initial commit to GitHub contains CRS v2.2.6 updates.  If you want to
download packages archives, use these links:
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/tarball/master
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/zipball/master

If you find any issues with the new CRS, please use the GitHub Issues
interface - https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/issues.
This will most likely replace our current Jira system for bug tracking.

Keep in mind that we have only done this for the OWASP ModSecurity CRS and
not for the ModSecurity source code yet.  We will be doing that in the
near future.

Let me know if anyone has any issues/questions/comments.

Other than that, I say GO FORTH AND FORK AWAY!!!  I am really hoping that
this move will help to make community contributions easier.
