[AG-DEV] Continual of AG services

[Jason Bell]

Gabriel and All

Though I am encouraged to see enthusiasm with regards to getting services migrated, I would personally like to see some robust discussions on platforms, systems and services, before any migration takes place.

For example, in regards to "source forge", a few people have indicated that they don't personally like it, due to the advertising and misleading redirection when downloading packages.

Now, I am not sure if this is a "real" issue with regards to maintaining a repository, but I think it warrants further discussion.

Therefore, I encourage others to contribute and propose alternatives (if any) on the variety of services that have been listed. 

Now is the time to "have your say"!

Many thanks,
Jason.

Hi  everyone 

It some respects it would look good if we got started on migrating some of the services of AG. mainly if the project looks dead it's harder to get things happening. 

I can't do much development but i can set up a source forge account. and do svn task 

so ideally we can import the full svn repository complete with comments and old revisions 

if someone with shell access to the current svn repo could they do the following : 

    Discuss your proposed changes with your Project Team.
    Use svnadmin dump /PATH/TO/REPO > svndump to create a dump file named "svndump".
    It is a good idea to compress the resulting dump file, to save space. We support zip, bzip2, and gzip compression (do not tar it). 

instructions from source forge. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/SVN%20adminrepo#ImportingfromotherreposincludingotherSCMs

sourceforge also supports mailing lists mailman same as what anl use not sure if they support a history import of that through will investigate.
