[pkg-go] pkg-go will migrate to salsa.debian.org on 2018-04-02

[Alexandre Viau]

Dear pkg-go contributors,

[all pkg-go contributors are in Bcc]

I will be migrating all of pkg-go's Alioth repositories to
salsa.debian.org on 2018-04-02.

=== About the migration ===

- A mail will be sent to pkg-go-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org when
the migration starts and when it ends. I intend to start early in the
morning, maybe close to 8 AM EDT.

- All repositories in git.debian.org:/git/pkg-go/packages will be
migrated to the pkg-go-team group on salsa.debian.org[1] You should join
the group if you are not already in it!

- Repositories will keep the same name, with the trailing ".git" removed.

- HTTP anonscm.debian.org links of migrated repositories will be
redirected to the new location.
 for example, you can test the following links:
  - https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/syncthing
  - https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/syncthing.git

 - Packages that use the git:// scheme in their vcs-git urls, and that
have uploaded modifications or upstream versions, will be left behind.

- Packages that use the git:// scheme will be uploaded with new vcs-* urls.

- I will produce a list of what was left behind, and the reason, so that
we can finish the work. I may have the time to fix it all by myself
during the migration.

- Pushes to Alioth will be disabled as soon as the migration starts and
we don't plan to enable them again. If your package was left behind by
the migration and you want to work on it, you will have to migrate it
yourself to salsa.debian.org.

=== During the migration ===

- You may start using salsa repositories immediately after they are created.

=== After the migration ===

- A copy of the migrated repositories will remain available in
git.debian.org:/git/pkg-go/packages-migrated-to-salsa

- You may point your git working directories to the new remote address
with this oneliner:
 ``git remote set-url origin git at salsa.debian.org:go-team/$(git
config --get remote.origin.url | tr "/" "\n" | tail -n 1)``

1. https://salsa.debian.org/go-team

Feel free to ask any questions.

Cheers,
