Hi tl;dr: Calligra contributors, please close your reviewboard reviews. Or migrate to phabricator.kde.org. Reviewboard would be set to read-only eventually. Also make sure you don't use reviewboard for new reviews.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ben Cooksley <bcooks...@kde.org> Date: 18 March 2016 at 07:46 Subject: [kde-community] Sunsetting of Infrastructure and the Phabricator migration To: kde-core-devel <kde-core-de...@kde.org>, informing about and discussing non-technical community topics <kde-commun...@kde.org>, kde-devel < kde-de...@kde.org>, kde-doc-engl...@kde.org Cc: "sysad...@kde.org" <sysad...@kde.org> == This mail is considered mandatory reading for all KDE Developers. Please read this email in whole. == Hi all, As you'll all be aware we are currently in the process of overhauling our Git infrastructure, and replacing numerous elements of it. The first part of this will take place this weekend - with projects.kde.org being shutdown. All Git repository browsing from that point on should take place through quickgit.kde.org. commits.kde.org will also be reconfigured to redirect you exclusively to quickgit.kde.org. As a result the tree structure will only be available from the XML file from this point onward. There are no plans to replicate the tree structure within Phabricator (although some of the grouping it facilitates may be provided through a different mechanism) The XML file upon which numerous utilities (including kdesrc-build) depend will continue to be made available. It will instead be generated by a Python script periodically, based on the contents of a Git repository. In terms of Reviewboard, there are no plans to import it's contents into Phabricator, as the level of effort required is too high. Once we are migrated to Phabricator for reviews, i'm proposing that everyone has 4 weeks to finish any final reviews up within Reviewboard before it is set to read only by disabling login for everyone. Reviews still open at that point would be discarded. The contents of Kanboard will be migrated into Phabricator, more details will come on that over the next few weeks, including details of any action people needs to take. As an immediate measure it would be appreciated if people could conduct a general cleanup and remove tasks and boards they have no intention of using or revisiting in the future. Following this migration Kanboard will be shutdown. In terms of repositories, now would be a good time to look into the scratch and clone repositories you have on git.kde.org and perform a cleanup of any repositories which are unused, not useful or are otherwise no longer needed. We will be looking into how to import our repositories into Phabricator which will include all scratch and clone repositories. This means the entire content of these repositories will be indexed, and reducing the number of repositories will reduce the amount of indexing work which Phabricator needs to complete. I should also note that as a side affect of the Phabricator transition, scratch/clone repositories will to a certain extent cease to exist - everything will now be a mainline repository. As a consequence force pushes will be disabled for all repositories as part of the migration (including scratch repositories). We will be creating a mechanism which will allow repositories following certain naming conventions to be easily created by developers (although this will have to be done through the web interface). As part of the capabilities of Phabricator, sysadmin will also be extending the power to create general purpose mainline repositories (and certain other actions within Phabricator) to a number of community members. They will be contacted individually over the next month or two regarding this. Comments on the above are welcome (little is in concrete yet), please start them in appropriate sub-threads on kde-core-devel (to minimize cross-posting, etc). Thanks, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-commun...@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek
