From keith.ellis at durham.ac.uk Fri Aug 17 12:03:08 2018 From: keith.ellis at durham.ac.uk (ELLIS, KEITH R.K.) Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 11:03:08 +0000 Subject: [Blackmax] Hepforge changes Message-ID: <9BAF661D-E0F5-4704-BA86-8F0BF2B8C7B6@durham.ac.uk> Dear Hepforge project leaders, As you may have previously heard, we're migrating HEPForge to a new more modern platform called phabricator. The change will begin on Monday 3rd September at 12pm (noon) UK time. As a result of the changeover HEPforge will be unavailable for up to 3 days. We recommend that you that you take all possible steps to prevent this change from impeding your work before that date. We will send out an e-mail to this mailing list as soon as the migration is completed. This change should improve the performance, stability and security of the system as well as bring some much needed new features. We will migrate all of your repositories and data but unfortunately the change will require some modifications by the end user. You may want to modify the documentation of your projects to reflect the changes. The changes will be as follows: - PUSH and PULL URIs for GIT, SVN and HG will change, an example of the new URIs are - svn+ssh://vcs at phab.hepforge.org:22/source/reponame ( SVN over SSH ) - http://phab.hepforge.org/source/reponame.git ( GIT over HTTPS ) - ssh://vcs at phab.hepforge.org/source/reponame.git ( GIT over SSH ) - http://phab.hepforge.org/source/reponame/ ( HG over HTTPS ) - ssh://vcs at phab.hepforge.org/source/reponame/ ( HG over SSH ) As you can see, the URI are similar for all version control systems. - User Account Passwords will expire Your user account password will need resetting, you can either mail adm in at hepforge.org or use hepforge.org/reset after the migration has taken place. - SSH Login (Shell Access) has changed Please ssh to port 222 for shell access i.e. ssh username at login.hepforg e.org -p 222 - Project Folders have Moved The following folders have changed /hepforge/home/projectname /hepforge/projects/projectname /hepforge/home/projectname/public_html /hepforge/projects/projectname/public_html /hepforge/downloads/projectname /hepforge/projects/projectname/downloads - Project URL changes The downloads page has been altered slightly (although we will strive to improve this after migration). https://www.hepforge.org/downloads/projectname will no longer work but downloads will be located at https://projectname.hepforge.org/downloads The SVN/HG/GIT repository pages are no longer available but will redirect to https://projectname.hepforge.org/repo which will list all publicly available repositories in phabricator - Trac/Wiki We are no longer providing Trac and Wiki support, for all projects that have been migrated over, they will continue to work as they did before (although any GIT/SVN/HG support may need fixing) but we suggest for people to migrate to the phabricator bug and wiki system. We apologise in advance for the disruption this will cause. Please feel fre to forward this mail to your project members. The email address admin at hepforge.org will be monitored diligently after the transition to provide support. The IPPP remains committed to full support of HEPforge.
