Heya, folks!
We are looking to begin our package repository migration on Sunday, August 13th, 2023. During this time, the Unstable repo will be frozen, and no updates will be pushed or merged. It is estimated that this process will take about four days to complete.
If you are a package maintainer, please wait until the migration is complete to submit new diffs so that we can merge as much as possible beforehand. If you have an open diff that doesn’t get merged, don’t worry! We’ll provide instructions on how to point your local clone of the package to GitHub and open a new Pull Request.
After the initial repository migration is complete, we will keep the old dev tracker online. However, Diffusion (used for source repos) and Differential (patch submission) will be set to only be accessible by Solus team members. The old dev tracker will be shut down once we are satisfied everything has been moved, including issues the team has processed. Until such time, issues can and should still be filed on Phabricator.
Would you like to know more about why we’re doing this? Then go check out our recent blog post if you haven’t already: State of Solus - August 2023. There, you can find the details about why we want to migrate, how the Solus team has grown, and more.
Thank you for bearing with us, and we look forward to getting up and running on the new platform!
