Hello all,
As we will be involving more people from UNINETT in NAV development over the coming year, we have decided to spend some time on consolidating our workflow tools.
In short, "we want to be using the same tools as other developers at UNINETT are using these days".
This will have the following effects for NAV in the coming days and weeks:
* We will switch from using Mercurial as our version control system, to using Git. * We will host our Git repository at GitHub, under the UNINETT organization [1]. * We will transfer existing bug reports from Launchpad into GitHub issues, then disable the Launchpad project.
* The mirror repository at BitBucket will be removed. * The nav-debian package repository will also move from Bitbucket to GitHub.
The most finicky part of this transition will be the migration of bug reports from Launchpad. GitHub only provides a rate-limited API to manipulate issues, which means migration of all reports may take days once started. Most likely, if you have reported or are otherwise subscribed to bug reports at Launchpad, you will have to re-subscribe at GitHub to continue to receive updates as bugs are worked on.
