    Smart Guide - 2017-11-17

    Hi all,

    imoore76 has been kind enough to let us take on this project and the codebase was migrated to GitHub under an organisation of the same name back in July, 2017:

    https://github.com/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox

    Since then we have done a little work and put out an RC for 5.2. We will continue to work on this project and coordinate contributions as quickly as we can.

    We have already migrated all bugs to GitHub. In future, please submit bug reports to:
    https://github.com/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox/issues

    Unfortunately, we don't (yet) have control over the sourceforge account, so please be aware that this forum is only occasionally monitored.

    Hi Tudor,

    I'm missing a statement from imoore76 that he halted the development of phpVB and that your "fork" is now the new official package... Where can we find this?
    Thanks!

    cheers,
    Chris

    Some user was squatting the phpvirtualbox account on Github, so the then-empty squatting user "phpvirtualbox" was renamed to "phpvirtualbox-zz", so that we could create an organisational account.

    We then added imoore76 and myself to the organisational account as top-level administrators and a few people as contributors. imoore76 then transferred ownership of the then imoore76/phpvirtualbox repos to phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox which is why this is now the official fork. imoore76 still has control, but the phpvirtualbox organisation is the custodian and we are the only other user on that level. All issues, wiki, as well as http://phpvirtualbox.github.io get directed to the phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox repos.

    Other than his actions of transferring the repos to us, his most definitive statement on this is here: https://github.com/phpvirtualbox-zz/phpvirtualbox/issues/1#issuecomment-299711552

    Unfortunately, imoore76 bailed out at this point. Despite my requests to transfer the sourceforge account as well, he has not (yet) replied. I don't think this is as easy as it is on Github and, by both word and action, it's clear that he doesn't want to be involved in the project anymore.

    Thanks Ian for all the time you spent to make phpvirtualbox so great.

    and of course thanks Tudor to take it over. I'll try to help if I can.

    This project can't die. We all must report new bugs and revive older sourceforge bug reports if needed at https://github.com/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox/issues
