Hello MacPorts users and developers, MacPorts will be moving to GitHub soon. We're sending this email to inform you about changes in how you access the MacPorts repositories and bug tracker. Additionally, this email contains information on planned downtimes.
Action Required: GitHub Accounts ================================ Our new Trac installation will use GitHub for login. If you do not have a GitHub account yet, please create one now at https://github.com/join To help us match your previous contributions and Trac tickets to your GitHub account, please go to https://github.com/settings/emails and ensure that you have added and verified all email addresses you have used for MacPorts Trac. There is no need for any of these addresses to be the primary one, or even public. They just need to be listed and verified. If you are a MacPorts committer, please make sure that you have added your @macports.org address. Action Required by MacPorts Developers: Joining the GitHub Organization ======================================================================= If you are a MacPorts developer and have commit access, please send the following mail to macports-in...@lists.macports.org: Subject: Please invite me to MacPorts on GitHub Content: Handle: <your-macports-handle> We will send an invite to join the MacPorts organization on GitHub to your MacPorts email address. Follow the steps in this invitation email to get commit access to the MacPorts Git repositories and privileges in Trac. Migration Timeline ================== The switch to Git will happen on the weekend of October 29th/30th. We will disable committing to the Subversion repository, run a last incremental export to Git and push the changes to GitHub. If you have commit access, please do not commit to the repositories at GitHub until a mail to the list indicates the conversion is done. Please read through https://trac.macports.org/wiki/WorkingWithGit which contains a number of guidelines for working with the MacPorts Git repositories. We will also place our old Trac instance in read-only mode and move the tickets to our new instance. Note that the new Trac instance uses GitHub for login. We recommend that you have added and verified all email addresses that you used for filing tickets in Trac to your GitHub account before you log in to the new Trac. For MacPorts developers, this includes your MacPorts email address. This will allow us to automatically transfer your tickets to your new user account. Due to the current SVN and Trac downtime, we are also discussing to make the move of Trac sooner if that helps us restore service earlier. We will keep you informed on this.
