<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
SourcForge has upgraded its whole web and management system, and due to<br>
that all projects had to upgrade to the new system.<br>
<br>
Nobody seems to have upgraded Lazarus-CCR since this was announced, so<br>
SourceForge deadline was reached, and they started forcefully upgrading<br>
outstanding projects.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Well, that is one view of this history.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Another view:<br>Last october I upgraded Lazarus-CCR to the new system. It turned out that the old SVN repo was still writable and people committed to it. So I reverted the upgrade. (But the new SVN repo still existed).<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">End of January, SF changed their scripts, so that after migration, the old SVN repo is read-only and a redirection message is shown, when you try to commit to it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
Two weeks ago I migrated Lazarus (which has a mirror of <a href="http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus">svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus</a>) to the new system. SVN migration failed, but was fixed after contact with SF staff. <br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Because if these experiences, I wanted to choose the time of migration carefully, so I have time to oversee the process.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">But in the mean time, SF staff ran a script to make all migrated SVN repositories read-only. These are the repos that were migrated before last January. Because of a glitch in the script (I don't know the exact details), it considered Lazarus-CCR as migrated, maybe because there was a new (unused, out of date) SVN repo.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The easiest way out was to start the migration of Lazarus-CCR at that time, when SF staff was on line. That is what I did at 9:26 PM (Amsterdam time). SVN migration failed, I notified SF staff and the SVN import was started manually by SF staff. It was completed at 10:09 PM, I notified the svn committers who reported problems, and went to bed.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So, they only thing that was forced, was the mistake to set the old repo on read-only.<br><br>Vincent<br></div></div>
