Hello all,

The project has just disabled ticket creation and modification on the Sourceforge trackers (Bugs, Support Requests, Patches, Feature Requests), leaving read-only access.

We would now prefer to have issues raised via GitHub, which offers issue templates for different sorts of tickets: https://github.com/meeting-room-booking-system/mrbs-code/issues

Tickets from the Sourceforge trackers are currently being migrated to the GitHub issue tracker.

The MRBS code has moved from Subversion to Mercurial. The new Mercurial repositories are:

MRBS code
https://sourceforge.net/p/mrbs/hg-code/

MRBS website
https://sourceforge.net/p/mrbs/hg-web/

MRBS tools
https://sourceforge.net/p/mrbs/hg-tools/

The old SVN repository remains in place for now at least, it may stay forever just so that links to the SVN repository don't break.

Cheers,

John
