[Bioperl-l] GitHub migration Wednesday

[Chris Fields]

Seems like we're all pretty much in agreement that this needs to happen sooner than later.  So, I'm scheduling the git/github migration aggressively, for this Wednesday.  Key steps:

1) Notify the list prior to locking the svn repo and/or making it read-only.

2) We need to set up post-commit hooks to forward commit messages on to bioperl-guts and elsewhere.  I have tried this out off github and so far it's a little problematic (not working off bioperl-test, but working off my own github commits).  

3) The current bioperl github repos will all be replaced with their live counterparts (branches and all), generated off the latest SVN via svn2git (including metadata).  I'll have to reinstate collaborators at that time, but the author mapping should be the same as before (DEVACCOUNT at bioperl.org, where DEVACCOUNT is one's user name on dev.open-bio.org).  

4) Update the wiki pages as needed to point to the github repo instead of the code.open-bio.org one.  Also, I'm sure this will catch many devs not paying attention to the list by surprise, so we'll need a developer migration page set up.

Anything else?
