Gitorious shutting down - Maemo impact?

The Maemo repos on Gitorious are in danger...

Just a heads up in case anyone wants to grab them in case the maintainers aren't around any more to move them to Gitlab.

yea I noticed that can you suggest to migrate our projects to other service running FLOSS ? if not github will be the only "easy" alternative... and I hate not having choices..

Please help to list resources that must be backuped :

I have migrated all CSSU repos to github, attached is the script I used todo it.

It's written in python3 and requires requests and BeautifulSoup.
For debian

apt-get install python3 python3-requests python3-bs4

Also in the beginning of the script the first 3 github_* values must be adjusted.

The script grabs all repos listed in the file repos.list, that file should be filled with relative gitorious paths, I had it like this:

community-ssu/alarmd
community-ssu/apt
...

It automatically creates the new repos on gitorious inside an organisation and also sets the description from the one on gitorious.
Then clones the repo locally adjust the remote and pushes all refs to github.

also you can import repos to gitlab directly

merlin1991: do you plan to cover all maemo repos not yet included in cssu, such as those under maemo-af?

What about the Meego repos?

Do we need to backup them?

xes is going to backup all of that onto the maemo.org servers
His list of stuff to backup is here: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/3gxFWfbErG If anything is missing please add that.

I assume all this backing up of repos etc includes the entire git history and not just the current codebase...
It would be bad if we were to loose that history...

I have just updated the list:
https://etherpad.mozilla.org/3gxFWfbErG

Now i have fixed a few issues in the gitorious search parser and i have added a few more search keywords.
Here the keys uses to prepare the list:

maemo hildon fremantle diablo chinook gregale mistral bora scirocco herring osso harmattan meego nitdroid community-ssu rx71 rx-71 rx51 rx-51 rx44 rx-44 rx34 rx-34 n950 n900 n810 n800 n770

Choice is base of freedom isnt it ?

Hope this help
