One thing I noticed while looking for something in the ancient history 
of FPC is that older user names don't seem to be matched up with the 
correct GitLab users, especially those that still commit today, like 
you, Florian (e.g. here 
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/testconversion3/-/commit/454799c1bdbc6192cbce4b3eb01da6068da664b5 
), Jonas (e.g. here 
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/testconversion3/-/commit/d840a1e2ef35266924c2acfb6c0a5e897c929e25 
) and some others. Would be nice if these would be matched correctly as 
well. :)


Regards,
Sven

Once you switch, you'll never want to go back. ;-)



In fpc/lazaus I only ever use the svn repositories to *retrieve* the respective
sources when installing the systems.

My question was really about the two source repositories:
Will they be abandoned now and the only source retrieval is by way of GIT?


Yes.
If you only retrieve, there is little that will change.

I am not intending ever to contribute, too low skill level for that, so no
commit possibilities needed.

From the current svn => yes. afaik


I am using scripts to install FPC and Lazarus on new systems and these use svn
co commands towards:
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/

where I pick up the released code based on the tag value and build off of them.

Will that have to change to git now?


Can you spot the tag name in the below?
The rest of the url will change once it is no longer a "test conversion"

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus_test_conversion_2/-/archive/lazarus_2_0_12/lazarus_test_conversion_2-lazarus_2_0_12.tar.gz
Also avail as zip.

No guarantees, but I expect that to keep working.
Of course you need to know the tag names.

There are 2 pages helping with using git.
Choose either one and stick with it. (if you try to use both, it will 
get confusing)

By the FPC team:  https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPC_git
By me:  https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SVN_to_GIT_Cheatsheet

I recommend on the long run to switch to git.

(I don't use GIT anywhere and am unfamiliar with its commands and general
behaviour).

LOL - years in the making, but it's finally happening. :-)

Well done for everybody that contributedto make this happen. I know
it's not easy - I have had my fare share of SVN conversions to Git,
and they take lots of trial and error.

  Graeme

[fpc-pascal] FPC & Lazarus moving to gitlab

[Michael Van Canneyt via fpc-pascal]

Hello All,

The Free Pascal and Lazarus teams are in the process of switching to 
Gitlab to manage their source code and issue reports.


In order to lower maintenance of their own infrastructure, a hosted solution
has been chosen, and an open source license was granted to the teams.

You can see the current progress at:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org

2 subgroups have been made:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus-ide

Several testconversions of the SVN history to a Git repository have been
done, with ever improving results. All repositories will be switched to git.

A program has been written to convert Mantis bug reports to Gitlab issues;
it is very complete, and all available info will be converted.
You can see (partial) conversion results on the above projects.

The date for the final conversion has been established as the weekend of
17/18 july. People that wish to report bugs after that will have to create a
gitlab account in order to do so. (Those with a github account can normally
also use that account to log in with gitlab, see the gitlab login page.)

The conversion program will attempt to convert existing bugs using the
account of the new gitlab user. To map your gitlab user name (or ID) to the
mantis user, we ask that you file an issue in the mantis project of the
current bugtracker, assign it the category gitlab, and set the summary of
the bugreport to your gitlab account name or ID number (not both!).

All accounts that can be collected in this manner by 17 july will be used in 
the final conversion.

All necessary information to connect to gitlab will be collected in the FPC &
Lazarus Wiki. Several pages have already been set up:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_git
https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_git_concepts
https://wiki.freepascal.org/SVN_to_GIT_Cheatsheet

These pages will be updated with the correct URLS when the final conversion happens. 
The FPC & Lazarus websites will also be adapted with new instructions.


For the FPC & Lazarus teams,

Michael.
