rootpwa-users — Important news for all users (low traffic)

[Karl B. <kar...@go...>]

[If you are a ROOTPWA user or developer please read ahead, otherwise you may safely ignore this email. Also my apologies, in case you receive this message twice.]

Dear ROOTPWA community,

as it is much nicer, we have decided to move the ROOTPWA project from Sourceforge to Github. The new project page is available under https://github.com/ROOTPWA-Maintainers/ROOTPWA. The whole repository has been ported there, together with all the issues in the Bugs and Feature Requests Trackers. Push access to the Sourceforge repository has been disabled and the Trackers on Sourceforge have been set to Read-Only.

To update your existing local repository to track the github repository, please do
`git remote set-url origin https://github.com/ROOTPWA-Maintainers/ROOTPWA.git`

after which everything should work as before. If you have forks on ROOTPWA you wish to port, you can do so by first creating a fork on github (the web interface should allow you to do that) and then doing:

`git clone --bare --mirror <url-to-your-sourceforge-fork> tempFork`
`cd tempFork`
`git remote add github <url-to-your-github-fork>`
`git push github --all`
`cd ..`
`rm -rf tempFork`

You can then proceed to update the urls of your existing repositories as above.

Please note that github provides neither a forum nor an email list. As the forum has not been used for quite some time, it will be discontinued at some point in the future. For the mailing list, we will stay at Sourceforge for the time being until an alternative presents itself. If you encounter any problems regarding the move, feel free to contact us.

Best regards,
Karl Bicker
