Christian and all-
I'm fine with moving development and issues
to github if someone wants to take the lead
to maintain things on github.
We should do a quick release to point at
the new locations and maybe include a few
fixes in the hopper. I'm not sure that
all the sf.net bugs are on github at
the moment.
In the meantime, I/we can update the sf.net
information to mention/refer to github instead...

Can someone help me understand what the benefit of staying on
Sourceforge at all is? The only thing we’re using there is the mailing
list and we can still use that. As far as I know all the issues got
copied over by Zaki.
I suggest this:
* everybody switch to push to GH only
* make a release with metadata pointing at GH for repo location and
bugtracker
* turn off the mirroring and save poor Christian from wasting any
further hours of his life
* continue to enjoy the CI

Hi Christian,
If the developers implemented the instructions to push to both
SourceForge and GitHub at the same time described here
(https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/GitHub%20Importer/#source-code),
would that permit you to shut down your cron scripts and save yourself
from the burden of error emails?

For those who aren't aware, or for those whose mind it has slipped:
I run on one of my servers a bunch of very simplicistic cron scripts
that mirror the SourceForge git repositories to github.
Particularly:
pdl.git
pdl-book.git
pdl-fftw.git
pdl-graphics-plplot.git
pdl-io-hdf5.git
pdl-linearalgebra.git
The command used for each is a simple:
[alias]
update-mirror = !git fetch -q origin && git push -q github
My cron looks like this:
MAILTO=walde.christ...@gmail.com
<mailto:MAILTO=walde.christ...@gmail.com>
0-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl.git && git update-mirror
1-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-linearalgebra.git && git
update-mirror
2-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-book.git && git
update-mirror
3-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-graphics-plplot.git &&
git update-mirror
4-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-io-hdf5.git && git
update-mirror
0-59/5 * * * * cd /root/pdl_repo_mirrors/pdl-fftw.git && git
update-mirror
In recent times the SF git servers have become incredibly more flaky,
to the point that on saturday the mirroring between SF and GH sent me
a whopping 229 error messages about being unable to reach sf. Over
the past two weeks the low tide was 20 messages per day.
The error messages i get are variations on this theme:
fatal: unable to connect to git.code.sf.net: git.code.sf.net[0:
216.105.38.16]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer
fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported:
/p/pdl/pdl-linearalgebra
fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you
have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
etc.
At this point i can make no guarantee that i'll be capable of
recognizing when an actual error happens, particularly since the
unreliability of sf servers results in me getting many varying types
of error messages.
Also, it's a gigantic pain in the neck to skim and delete those
messages every day.
In lieu of an actual migration to github, if anyone here would like
to offer an email address i can configure as a target for these
things instead, please do let me know.
