Re: [platform-dev] how long will repos remain on gerrit (read-only?)

Thanks. I guess I'll have to prioritize saving all that random work somewhere for when (if) I get around to migrating it to PRs

(sorry for so much WIP - I have a lot more ideas than time to follow up on all of them)

Hi folks,

How long will the gerrits for platform projects moving to GitHub be left around? (Sorry if this is asked and answered somewhere else)

We will not let them stay after moving. Process is like https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/platform/eclipse.platform.team/+/185449 where it's abandoned with instruction how to move it to PR. As the repo becomes read only there is no difference whether it's open or abandoned, you can recreate it as PR although if not ready it is better to have it in your own fork.
For how long gerrits will stay it's a question for EF. If the repo is archived - gerrits are gone. Webmaster team asks for when repo can be archived in gerrit which we try to delay for Eclipse TLP repos (doing better than Tycho migration!) but that's beyond us.
 

I have various WIP gerrits[1] that I hope to come back to one day. Until now I have considered gerrit a safe place to store such WIP (as I would my own fork on GitHub). 

In addition, the review comments of the gerrits are very valuable when trying to unravel an old issue.

I ask because some projects that have migrated from gerrit to GitHub seem to have lost their gerrit entries (Tycho[2]) while others still live on gerrit (like LSP4E[3])

LSP4E seems to have missed the last step in the migration which should be fixed and become read-only soon.
