TL;DR: overlays and the main repos will now live on the same server |

Hi all, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Hopefully everybody has seen my email about Gentoo Infrastructure losing |
| 7 |
a lot of servers soon. If not, see [1]. This is one of the emails to |
| 8 |
work on reducing our footprint ASAP for the reduction in servers. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The infra team will be |
| 11 |
- discontinuing SVN repo hosting and migrating all remaining SVN repos to Git. |
| 12 |
- merging git.gentoo.org and git.overlays.gentoo.org |
| 13 |

SVN discontinued: |
| 15 |
----------------- |
| 16 |
In an effort to reduce our server footprint, the infrastructure team |
| 17 |
will be discontinuing SVN repo hosting as of 2014/06/21. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
All remaining SVN repos will be migrated to Git. |
| 20 |
This applies to both svn.gentoo.org and svn.overlays.gentoo.org |
| 21 |
This is being tracked in bug #513182 [2] |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
There are very few repos that still actively commit new content. |
| 24 |
Here are the only repos that have new content within the last 180 days. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
svn.g.o: |

Git merging: |
| 40 |
------------ |
| 41 |
We presently host two separate git services, git.gentoo.org and |
| 42 |
git.overlays.gentoo.org. This came about because the former existed |
| 43 |
before gitolite/gitosis came into existence, and were managed the same |
| 44 |
was as the primary CVS+SVN services, with per-user logins. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Those logins will no longer be support, and the services will be hosted |
| 47 |
entirely by goto lite from this point forward. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Aside from the two gitolite-admin repos, and one repo that is hosted in |
| 50 |
both sides for redundancy, there are no namespace conflicts between the |
| 51 |
repos whatsoever. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
From a user perspective, you will be seeing the SSH public key for the |
| 54 |
hosts change when we move servers, but both hostnames will continue to |
| 55 |
work for the time being. Nothing should be broken by the move. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
After the previous outage of git.overlays.gentoo.org, we will also be |
| 58 |
ensuring that a read-only mirror of the repos exists on another host, |
| 59 |
possibly two, for extra US/EU hosting of the content. |
