SourceForge keeps badgering me to move the mspgcc project to their new
Allura platform, and if I don't do it manually some day it'll be done
automatically, probably at a time that's extremely inconvenient. Below is
the text they provide as a description of what will happen. As far as I
can tell the primary effect will be a change to the git repository links,
and the look-and-feel of the pages.
This update is unrelated to the eventual need to move hosted applications
like MediaWiki from the SourceForge hosted environment into the project
itself. SourceForge has not yet finished the work that enables this move.
Head's up. I plan to update the project platform on Wednesday.

Upgrading your project to the Allura platform gives you access to some great
new features <https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/wiki/Features/>, including
custom tracker fields, integrated wiki, blog and code browsing tools,
threaded discussions, and more! Here are changes you can expect to see when
you upgrade your project:
*Will be upgraded*
At this time, we are able to update the following aspects of your project:
- Meta-data (name, description, trove categories, etc)
- Members and permissions
- Project News
- Forums
- Hosted Applications and Project Web
- Virtual Host configuration and MySQL databases
- Git, Subversion, Mercurial, Bazaar and CVS repositories
- Mailing Lists
- Tracker data
- Project Donations*
*Will not be upgraded*
These items will not be moved to your upgraded project:
- Project Help Wanted <https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/4218/>
- SCM stats <https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/4618/>, Forum
stats<https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/4906/>,
Ticket stats <https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/4907/> & Traffic
stats <https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/4908/>
- Trac will no longer integrate with SVN
*Waiting for one of these features?*
The links above will take you to our engineering ticket for that feature.
On the ticket, click the "+" icon to vote for it, so we know it's important
to your project.
*Will work exactly the same*
These items will continue to function they way they currently do:
- Project summary page
- File releases and download stats
- Project Reviews
Note that the URLs used to access your code repositories will change, and
an email will be sent to all project developers with the new URLs after the
upgrade is complete.
Once you click Upgrade, the upgrade will be scheduled and will begin
shortly. Any changes made to your project while the upgrade is in progress
may not be reflected in the upgraded project.
*If you have donations enabled, there will be a Donate link that will allow
donations. However, it will be a direct link to the PayPal donation page,
and individual donors will no longer be tracked or displayed.
Prior to upgrading, you can obtain a copy of your project's data as an XML
file by clicking on the project name, selecting Project Admin ยป Features,
then selecting XML Export.
