sf is down again :( how come brl-cad is still hosted there? with their frequent outages, you would think moving to something else would be justified by now :-?

@Cezar afaik GitHub hosting has been discussed before but because the SVN repo is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, and dates back several decades, conversion to git should not be taken lightly

(tbh I use git svn already, but I don't really have to care about anything older than a year and I'm not a core contributor)

i'm not talking about git or github specifically. my main problem is with sourceforge

i'm also curious if there have been past attempts, what were the results, and how are results evaluated?

so if someone were to attempt a migration right now, how would they know if it's done correctly?

@Cezar Well, for the cvs2svn conversion, you can read up on the effort here: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Cvs2svn

a migration to git will be at least that complicated

It's being worked on, and has been for several weeks now. The work started a long while back to migrate to Github which included talking with them about our repo requirements as we far exceed their typical repository sizes. @starseeker is currently working on setting up a migration "program" that performs the conversion and helps with validation. Preserving all of BRL-CAD's history properly is important, but it's fairly easy to know if a conversion is "done correctly" by checking that at least all the information we had in the repo is preserved. His efforts to convert already found and has fixed a bug in the original cvs-to-svn migration that caused 1000+ commits to have the wrong timestamp. What remains is making sure that all branches and tags are captured and reconstructed correctly, and getting some basic safeguards in place (e.g., so devs cannot delete history, accidentally or intentionally).
