| Re: [spatial4j-dev] Fwd: GitHub Spatial4j move to LocationTech |
The Eclipse Foundation / LocationTech completed the “preliminary review” of the Spatial4j initial contribution, and It’s now time to transfer the GitHub project to the LocationTech org within GitHub: https://github.com/locationtech/ I asked how this works, as you can see the answer below. Once Denis @ Eclipse gets the repo, he’s going to process it in such a way that the “initial contribution” effectively appears as a new root commit. Technically all commits before are in the repo too but they are sort of hidden. Any pull requests or local check-outs will need some adjusting. Yes, some pain, sorry. Furthermore, any branches/tags that exist now on the repo won’t be there any more. Any work-in-progress branches should be saved to our local repos, and perhaps via git re-base they could be reconstituted.The exact “initial contribution” is presently the branch tip here: LocationTech-Contrib2The master branch has moved on a little but not much; we should minimize that since those commits will need to be re-based onto it.Now that I’ve given this heads-up, are we ready to get this on with? Ryan when I get your +1 I’ll get the ball rolling.~ David---------- Forwarded message ---------

Hi David,
Two things should happen at this point:
1. Ownership of the repo should be transferred to the Eclipse Webmaster
account (eclipsewebmaster on GitHub). This will allow us to move the
repo to the LocationTech organization
2. Since IP review is done on a specific point in time, the entire
history up to that point must be stashed away in a separate namespace.
Since this operation essentially rewrites the entire history of your
repo, it will invalidate all the forks and clones that may exist. Now
would be a good time to communicate this to your community.
Details about GitHub and LocationTech can be found here:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Social_Coding/Hosting_a_Project_at_GitHub
The actual process we use for stashing history is described here:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/GitHub
Please let me know when you're ready to move forward on this.
Denis
