Hello all, Following our proposal from about a week ago, Herbert and I plan to make the Gitolite migration happen Real Soon Now. If possible, we would actually like to have it happen tomorrow, although that's understandably a bit too short of a window of warning perhaps. However, commit activity has been low the past two weeks, so sometime in the next few days is probably the best window (Simon gets back August 15th, so we would like something in place by then.) We already have just about everything in place I believe. This is a final call for anyone who might need shell access or something of the sorts. I envision the plan will go like this: * We will turn off push access to the repositories, AND turn off shell access, by revoking SSH keys temporarily from everyone in the 'darcs' group (don't worry, there will be backups.) * I'll take everyone who has committed to any of the repositories in the last 1yr and add them to the new setup. That'll cover most of the current group, I think. There may be some people who were recently added but haven't committed yet. I'll try to remember everyone, but please yell if there is a problem. * We'll make the switch to gitolite by reinstating the SSH keys that are already there, and reopen the tree. We WILL NOT be deleting the existing user accounts. I don't want to possibly destroy something left there. Instead, if you would like, you can just email me and I'll re-add your key if necessary to get your stuff back. I expect this will be a very short and easy migration. Herbert has already given details of changing your existing trees via ./sync-all as well: http://www.mail-archive.com/ghc-devs@haskell.org/msg01781.html I will follow up with a reply to this email containing precise details on the switch, including the expected downtime window, and what time it will be happening. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. -- Regards, Austin - PGP: 4096R/0x91384671
