Good afternoon, [Please keep sysad...@kde.org list or bs...@kde.org in the CC for replies]
I want to clarify some bits for which we have gotten a questions about, - Non unique naming: There's some teams which prefer if we dropped the namespace- part from their name which we have added. While currently this does not result in the naming conflict right away, we realize this will cause it at one point, for example, maui-dialer -> maui/dialer plasma-dialer -> plasma-mobile/dialer To minimize the impact of the Gitlab move we won't be doing such renames which introduce non-unique names right away. But we would prefer if the existing tooling or infrastructure is ready for this kind of cases at later point. Only way to enforce non-unique naming is one big KDE/ subgroup which we want to avoid. Current naming in the repo-metadata branch[1] I've pointed does not reflect those renames, as we are not planning to do those renames right away during gitlab move, but at a later stage. - Existing configurations: we want to reduce impact on existing release schedule, and existing developer workflow, therefore we will continue to privide the existing anongit.kde.org and git.kde.org (although this will be read-only) with current flat structuring for 3 weeks after actual migration, which will keep the existing scripts/clones working enough to give developers time to change to the new structure. We will also try to provide a script which allows you to migrate your existing clones to new repo paths and as mentioned by Ben in other message, potentially a git-kde script which would allow you to clone individual repository without knowing it's namespace (provided that there is no conflict of it's name). like "git kde karchive" - Translations: we will co-ordinate with the translations team to let them adapt their tooling to updated structure as this requires changes on their side how translations are stored in svn repository Thanks!
