Hello people,
back in sep/2014, Ilario suggested to register
libremesh.org:
http://lists.libre-mesh.org/pipermail/dev/2014-September/000458.html
we did, and after a looong transition, we're finally finishing all the
renamings, right on time before the new release (so we're taking the
opportunity to launch 16.07 with the new name)
back in march, we took the decision to migrate everything, then at the
last meeting consensus was *against* migration (among concerns, was
breaking github urls, and such); but recently found out about github
retrocompatibility features, and finally reached consensus approving the
migration.
Affected:
* IRC: channel #libre-mesh is deprecated, join #libremesh from now on
* GitHub repos: all the legacy urls continue to work (but deprecated)
example:
git clone
https://github.com/libre-mesh/lime-packages.git
still works, but you should clone from now on:
git clone
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages.git
so all the existing lime-builds out there will continue to work,
pointing to the legacy URLs, pulling changes without problem
but if you're reading this, and have already existing repos in your
computers, please change remote's URLs, like so:
https://help.github.com/articles/changing-a-remote-s-url/
The only thing that will not work anymore is the old's organization
"homepage" in github, i.e. the list of repos
https://github.com/libre-mesh/
doesn't work anymore. use
https://github.com/libremesh/ instead.
This caveat is mentioned in
https://help.github.com/articles/renaming-an-organization/
* Repo contents: everything was renamed in 1 commit to each repo branch:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-build/commit/071a90b85
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-build/commit/dde93693a
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/commit/4c0bd49e70
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/commit/7f18ad3597
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-web/commit/b78a0d57c
* Chef: All the mentions about Libre-Mesh were replaced to LibreMesh
back in march/april already.
* Mailing lists: they'll be transparently renamed to
lime-*(a)lists.libremesh.org (pipermail archives, subscribers, etc)
and the @lists.libre-mesh.org will be deprecated (mail sent to the
deprecated address will be held, and senders notified the new addr)
this will also involve moving to a better maintained mailman server
This last step (mailing lists) is not done yet, to allow people to get
this notice first, and update their email filters / etc. Please do so,
since this email is the last one you'll get from *(a)lists.libre-mesh.org.
You'll soon get a "Welcome" message from lime-*(a)lists.libremesh.org
cheers! and see you on the other side of the mirror, with a freshly
cooked release.
