Dear all,
This is a follow-up to my own mail. The problem due to the changes of
the billing rules on Bitbucket (see below) are somewhat sorted out, I
have again access to the repository, but many of the former contributors
are deleted from the "naviserver" group to get it functioning. There was
also a change with "managed accounts", which made the problem for me
even more complicated. In total, I count 31 emails with Atlassian
support to sort these things out. Anyhow, these changes are signs that
Atlassian does not have a high priority on open source projects with
free accounts.
We have discussed this with Zoran, and we came to the conclusion that it
is the best to move the NaviServer repositories to GitHub
https://github.com/orgs/naviserver-project/repositories
We have now on GitHub an organization "naviserver-project" which
contains now the 54 sub-repositories. This is essentially the same
structure we had before. We also have a certain hope, that the move to
GitHub will rather improve the visibility of NaviServer. All the newest
commits were done on these new repositories. The plan is to move
completely to GitHub and to delete the repositories on Bitbucket to
avoid confusion.
Please adjust your install/update scripts to point to the new link.
All the best

So far, these changes are only available on sourceforge, since i have
lost write access to the repository at bitbucket. The people on
Atlassian seem to have changed some account types, and - on to of this
- they annouced via the Blog post on September 27, 2023, that the
billing model changed (where they also refer to the
"unified-user-management"). It took me a while to figure out, what
happened. The blog post states:
/From October 31st, 2023, Bitbucket Cloud will begin counting all
workspace members as a billable user. ....
Free plans: If you're on a free plan and your billable user count
is higher than 5 as per the new definition of billable user, all
repositories in your workspace will become read-only until you
remove some users or upgrade your workspace to a paid plan./
It seems that the users of the "naviserver" group are now counted as
"billable users", and it contains 19 users. According to support, we
have to reduce this number to 5, otherwise nobody will be able to
commit anything.
Due to the ability with PRs, i think the reduction will be possible
without too much loss in functionality. If nobody objects, i will go
back in history and reduce the number of commit-member based on the
most recent direct commits. I hope, that non of the "old members" will
be offended by this. One other option would be to upgrade to a paid
plain - but i am not sure, who is gonna pay for this.
