Re: [Jikesrvm-researchers] Jikes RVM moving to sourceforge.net

[Michael H. <hi...@us...>]

Since Dave's note below, we have learned that the developerWorks site will 
remain up during the migration.   However, any data that goes to it during 
the migration (i.e., starting Mon, Feb 7) will not be automatically 
migrated to sourceforge.

Thus, you can still access the CVS repository, but any check-ins by the 
core team will need to be redone when the migration is complete. Likewise, 
the mailing lists will continue to work, but the archived version on 
sourceforge will not contain the new messages.  (We'll take care of this 
problem.)

So in summary, you can continue to use the mailing lists during the 
migration period, as well as check out versions of the system.   However, 
it is probably best if core team members hold off on commits until the 
migration is complete.

When the migration is complete, we'll send information with the new URLs, 
CVS repository, and mailing lists.

Thanks,
Mike

[Jikesrvm-researchers] Jikes RVM moving to sourceforge.net







The Jikes RVM project (and a number of other open source projects hosted 
on developerworks) will be moving to a new home on sourceforge.net this 
month.  The move should increase the visibility of the project and greatly 
improve some aspects of the development tooling (developerworks currently 
uses a fairly old version of the sourceforge software). 

However, during the move the project (including mailing lists, cvs, bug 
tracking, etc) will be down.  The current schedule has the move starting 
on Feb 7th and completing on Feb 21st.  The schedule is fairly 
conservative, so the project could be back up on sourceforge long before 
the 21st.  However, it would be wise to plan on the full two week outage. 
So, ask those questions, etc.  soon or be prepared to wait for a couple of 
weeks.
