Dear all, thanks to Jason Dunsmore, we were able to have our orgmode.org server sponsored by Rackspace. Their OSS hosting program ends by the end of the year¹. Thanks a lot to Rackspace for this program, it saved us a lot of money! And to Jason for letting us know about it.
I have configured a new server: a vultr.com Debian 9 x64 with 1024 MB at 5$ per month -- for a start. I will make the DNS switch to the new server on the 30/12/2017 between 8pm CET and midnight CET. **IF YOU USE GIT FOR ORG/WORG, YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR REPOSITORIES!** If you don't use Git for Org, you can jump directly to the end of this email, where I explain the purpose of code.orgmode.org. For Org/Worg USERS who use Git to clone Org/Worg ================================================= After 31/12/2017 (leaving a 24h window for DNS propagation), the only way to clone the Org git repository will be through our Gogs instance: https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode If you cloned from the old server, your current .git/config file has: [remote "origin"] url = orgm...@orgmode.org:org-mode.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* You can clone Org from the new server with one of these commands: ~$ git clone g...@code.orgmode.org:bzg/org-mode.git ~$ git clone https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git In the newly created repository, your .git/config file will now read: [remote "origin"] url = g...@code.orgmode.org:bzg/org-mode.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* or [remote "origin"] url = https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* You can also use https instead of git, see the repository page. Instructions are similar for Worg. For Org and Worg COMMITTERS ============================ You will need to create a new user on https://code.orgmode.org in order to push commits to org-mode.git or worg.git: 1. Create a user on https://code.orgmode.org 2. Add your ssh public key 3. Send me an email to be added as a collaborator on Org/Worg Why code.orgmode.org ? ======================= The https://code.orgmode.org gogs instance is intended as being a home for every Org developers, whether they are contributing to Org's core, Worg documentation - or any other Org-related package. The idea is to create a place for code that we collectively take care of. New Org packages are already welcome. Mirrors for active Org packages are welcome. Also, I would like to migrate Elisp files currently in Org's contrib/ directory as separate packages on https://code.orgmode.org. Testing the new server ======================= You can test the new website here: https://beta.orgmode.org If someone asks anywhere about a broken Org repository, please refer to this email. Happy hacking and *thanks*! ¹ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/20/rackspace_ends_discount_hosting_for_open_source_projects/ -- Bastien
