Hi all,

The current list of repositories to migrate from darcs to GitLab, is the list shown on https://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi .

Are there any other repositories that need to be migrated to GitLab that this community is aware of?

Thanks!

Regards,

Erik.

Hi,

While running the first conversion tests, I ran into the following repositories (browsable through https://common-lisp.net/cgi- bin/darcsweb.cgi) already have GitLab repositories in place (<project>/<repository>):

• adw-charting/adw-charting
• alexandria/alexandria
• bordeaux-threads/bordeau-threads
• cl-store/cl-store
• editor-hints/named-readtables
• elephant/elephant
• gestalt/gestalt
• mel-base/mel-base
• parenscript/parenscript

Given the age of all of these repositories, I'm planning to archive these duplicated repositories and not migrate them to GitLab (as that would mean the repositories would be either duplicating other repositories or prior repositories would be overwritten).

Any comments regarding this plan? Maybe someone knows that some of these repositories need to be migrated to GitLab - replacing what's currently there?

Regards,

Erik.

Hi all,

After converting common-lisp.net to LetsEncrypt/certbot, I've taken a bit of time to research the long-overdue move from darcs to Git.

Fortunately, taking time away from a task allows for creativity to kick in: I've found an (acceptable to me) way to bulk convert all repositories listed in https://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi

I'm likely to implement a minimal redirect from the existing darcsweb URLs to the resulting GitLab git projects. However, since the commit SHAs don't match, anything more complex requires pretty extensive mapping tables. Please consider this as an invitation to do that work! :-)

Final announcement of a cut-over will be done 1 week in advance of the cut-over itself. Cut-over will roughly take 4 hours when the window is there (although I can't imagine anybody actually *using* these repositories other than as read-only sources).
