Hi all,

When pgfoundry was opened, there was some talk about moving the projects
from gborg there. This has not, to date, happened. Is there any chance
of this happening now, even if only for the specific project? I feel
really bad about releasing a new version of ole db, with the news of the
previous release not yet disappearing from the main page.

I don't even need all of the infrastructure. Moving just CVS and the
mailing lists will be more than enough. There is nothing important in
the bug and other areas that cannot be reconstructed in a few minute's work.

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

If only the CVS/Mailing lists are needed, and nothing that is "in the
database", then this shouldn't be too hard ... go to pgfoundry, submit for
the new project ... once it is approved, create the various mailing lists
that you have on gborg, and then, *before* you do anything else on either,
I can move copies of both from gborg -> pgfoundry ...

Once I've copied both over, I'll get Chris to mark the gborg project as
being 'disabled' so that nobody will see it over there anymore ...

Actually, it would be very nice if the project was still visible at
gborg with a single page explaining that the project has moved. People
may get the wrong idea if it just disappears.

I'm still in status quo with PL/Java. I'm eager to help out to get the
move done, but I still don't know what more I can do. My requirements
are the same as Shachar's although a dump of the current bug database
would be helpful.

Genpages, uploads, etc. are things that I can reconstruct from material
that's in the CVS.

mailing lists and cvs are easy, as they are the same format under either
.... its the 'database conversion' stuff that is the reason for the long
hold up for the rest ...

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

I think having to be on a specific server to get automatic updates on
the front page is the problem. Moving it not the correct solution. There
are may postgresql related projects that don't live on pgfoundry, or
even gborg.

Why is this a necessity?

Can't we set up some sort of interface to the latest news?

Ok, I submitted a request for the project under pgfoundry. Same name
(oledb).

Seconded. The address was in the files in the release.

Yes, well. I never liked much the way gborg handled bugs. In fact, it's
the fact that people started using the bug system under gborg that
causes me to miss pgfoundry so much. Comments such as the one on
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/...update.php?755 also
don't help.

The three bugs or so that actually need tracking I can transfer myself.
I don't think it justifies writing automatic conversion. It does not
even seem as if gborg is enjoying a lot of active projects anyways. Of
the three projects that had anything new to say in over a month, two
have just stated that they don't care about the rest of the info anyways.

To summarize, just give me read only access to the old project's data
and I'm set.
