Just go to the SCM Administration page, select Git instead of Subversion and submit. Then only a little patience to wait for the cronjob to create the debian-med git repo and do its magic to enable project listings. >> The project name is still "pkg-grass" and the Homepage Link is still >> "https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org";.

If we can get help from DSA and/or alioth.debian.org hostmaster to add a CNAME record in DNS from pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org to debian-gis.alioth.debian.org after the switch, we can add an additional VHOST to the project on alioth for the old pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org domain. In theory this should work. Renaming the pkg-grass-devel mailing list is not possible AFAIK, we can create [email protected] and move the Maintainer address of our packages over to the new list and keep the archive of the old. > Kind regards > > Andreas.
