We are migrating the JMRI source code from Subversion hosted at SourceForge to Git hosted at GitHub, most likely in early to mid-September.
To migrate from Subversion to Git we need to create a file that lists the contributors to JMRI at SourceForge with their identities in Git format. This file has been started at https://github.com/JMRI/contributors/blob/master/authors-transform.txt by listing everyone who has committed a change to the JMRI source code at SourceForge. This file is in the format, with one user per line:
sourceforge-username = Real Name <email-address>
for example:
rhwood = Randall Wood <randall.h.wood@alexandriasoftware.com>
This file needs to be reasonably complete before we migrate JMRI.
You can help with this migration by doing the following before September 4th:
- Sign up to GitHub if you do not already have a GitHub account.
- Edit the contributor’s file to update your personal information at https://github.com/JMRI/contributors/edit/master/authors-transform.txt, saving your change by clicking “Propose file change”
More information about the migration will be available as we develop the plans for this migration.
