Since gitorious got acquired by gitlab it will shut down its service end of

Where will ConTeXts source mirror be hosted then?
Will it get transfered over to gitlab? Github? Bitbucket? Sourceforge?
Somewhere else?
First: we need a reliable repository
yours isn't less reliable that gitorious as yours stays around -)
We have a collection of ConTeXt releases that I need to convert into a
git repository (there was a discontinuity back in October that I need
to fix, so that we'll have a complete history).
that would be nice indeed
If someone is willing to spend a few hours fixing/completing the
script that will turn the zips into git commits, let me know and I'll
send you my half-finished work.
i suppose i could commit but maintaining a git repos with all these
dependencies is no fun for me
Second: there are a bunch of (outdated) mirrors that will be brought
up to date again once the first step is complete
- There is a mirror on GitHub (https://github.com/contextgarden/context)
- There is a mirror on contextgarden
(http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context)
- I conveniently locked myself out when creating a new username
(context) on GitLab by making a typo when entering the email address
and I'm not sure where and how to ask for help. Maybe the request for
username expires after a while if nobody confirms it? Or I could
hypothetically create that "email with a typo" and resend the
confirmation email, then disable the email account again. If someone
can point me out the place where I could ask for unlocking the
"context" account, I would be grateful. I might just as well try luck
on the generic email address.
- I'm not a particular fan of sourceforge. I see no reason to host a
mirror there. Their user interface is simply horrible. They got a bit
better over time, but ...
no need as we have the supelec for luatex and so ...
- BitBucket used to be hg-only. I see no reason not to have a mirror
there as well (but I don't see any particular need for yet another
mirror either). If there are enough people who think that having yet
another mirror on BitBucket as well would be useful for whatever
reason, let me know.
indeed, a volunteer using that could also keep it up to date
(I don't know how GitLab works now and whether they fixed that
annoying bug, but we had some serious issues with the Unicorn server
behind it. Cloning the repository was often stuck/broken for no good
reason, just because the server thought that cloning was supposed to
be done in under 30 seconds, else it broke the connection as "stale".
Maybe they'll have to fix it now if all those giant projects like Qt
switch to their service.)
till they sell themselves too -)
