Re: [modeling-pmc] Project website migration to Git

Flushing the history of your website is fine. If you just want to snapshot the current state, stick it in Git and go from there you can.

If at some point the future, you want to archive the existing website Git repository and start fresh, that would be fine as well.

For completeness, flushing the history of your source code repository is not fine :-)

Wayne,

I was hoping not to mass migrate what's to a large extent, a huge out-of-date mess to git, clogging up the git history with a mass of artifacts that will need to be cloned forever.

Perhaps that could be mitigated with some ability to flush the history at some point in the future?   Is that possible/supported/allowed?

Regards,
Ed

Greetings Modeling PMC.

AFAICT, there are several projects that have not yet initiated the migration of their project websites to Git.

PMC members: please contact these projects to ensure that they initiate the migration.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Git/Migrating_to_Git#Migrating_Your_Project_Website

These projects have their own websites. AFAICT, they have not yet made a request to webmaster to migrate.

amp
cdo
diffmerge
edapt
eef
egf
emfclient
emfstore
gmf-tooling
modeling
MoDisco
rmf
sphinx
wazaabi

These projects are terminating and their websites will be archived.

emft - Redirects to /modeling/emft
gmt
m2m
m2t
mmt

These projects have website directories that redirect elsewhere. In some cases are there are extra files that may need special consideration. In some cases, it may make sense to ask the webmaster to setup a redirect rather than migrate an otherwise empty web directory (e.g. modisco, xsd).

emf - Redirects to /modeling/emf
query2 - Redirects to /projects/project.php?id=modeling.emf.query2
modisco - Redirects to /MoDisco
uml2 - Redirects to /modeling/mdt/?project=uml2
xsd - Redirects to /modeling/mdt/?project=xsd#xsd

These project directories contain the template that webmaster provides when he creates a new project. They have been unaltered. I think that we can just ask webmaster to delete them.

gmf-notation - template
gmf-runtime - template

Thanks,

Wayne
