looking at Falcon retirement [1], which has a Git repo: - current Gitbox repo is attic-falcon.git [2] - but GitHub (where everybody is looking at) is still falcon.git [3]
And on GitHub, a clear sign of retirement for users exists, that has not been activated on this falcon.git: that is **archived** repositories, like [4] IMHO: 1. Renaming Gitbox repo (and only Gitbox) should not happen 2. Marking GitHub repository as archived should be done for past and future Attic moved projects Git repositories Regards, Hervé [1] http://attic.apache.org/projects/falcon.html [2] https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/attic-falcon.git [3] https://github.com/apache/falcon [4] https://github.com/apache/tomcat55 Le mercredi 31 mars 2021, 11:40:25 CEST sebb a écrit : > On Wed, 31 Mar 2021 at 08:37, Mads Toftum <m...@toftum.dk> wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 31, 2021 at 01:02:58AM +0100, sebb wrote: > > > Infra say that the rename of the Git repos was to allow write access > > > by Attic people. > > > I assume that the attic- prefix turns it into an Attic-controlled repo. > > > > > > This would allow Attic access and deny project access. > > > > > > Project access can also be denied by dropping the LDAP group (which > > > happens anyway). > > > > > > Even if we did still need temporary write access, there are better > > > ways to manage it than renaming the repo. > > > For example, by joining the LDAP group before it is deleted. > > > > > > I did not need write access for any of the recent projects that I dealt > > > with.> > > Yeah, I suppose the main argument in favor of moving it would be to make > > it clear that you're looking at an attic codebase. > > The Attic only means something within the ASF. > > > I see the > > inconvenience of broken links, but on balance maybe it's better to have > > a clear signal that this is an unmaintained repo? > > There are other ways to signal that a repo is unmaintained. > > The attic- prefix in a repo name does not clearly indicate to the > general public that the repo is unmaintained. > > > vh > > > > Mads Toftum > > -- > > http://flickr.com/photos/q42/
