Since gitorious got acquired by gitlab it will shut down its service end of May 2015 (https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/).

Where will ConTeXts source mirror be hosted then?

Will it get transfered over to gitlab? Github? Bitbucket? Sourceforge? Somewhere else?

First: we need a reliable repository

yours isn't less reliable that gitorious as yours stays around -)

We have a collection of ConTeXt releases that I need to convert into a git repository (there was a discontinuity back in October that I need to fix, so that we'll have a complete history).

that would be nice indeed

If someone is willing to spend a few hours fixing/completing the script that will turn the zips into git commits, let me know and I'll send you my half-finished work.

i suppose i could commit but maintaining a git repos with all these dependencies is no fun for me

Second: there are a bunch of (outdated) mirrors that will be brought up to date again once the first step is complete

- There is a mirror on GitHub (https://github.com/contextgarden/context) - There is a mirror on contextgarden (http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context)

- I conveniently locked myself out when creating a new username (context) on GitLab by making a typo when entering the email address and I'm not sure where and how to ask for help. Maybe the request for username expires after a while if nobody confirms it? Or I could hypothetically create that "email with a typo" and resend the confirmation email, then disable the email account again. If someone can point me out the place where I could ask for unlocking the "context" account, I would be grateful. I might just as well try luck on the generic email address. - I'm not a particular fan of sourceforge. I see no reason to host a mirror there. Their user interface is simply horrible. They got a bit better over time, but ...

no need as we have the supelec for luatex and so ...

- BitBucket used to be hg-only. I see no reason not to have a mirror there as well (but I don't see any particular need for yet another mirror either). If there are enough people who think that having yet another mirror on BitBucket as well would be useful for whatever reason, let me know.

indeed, a volunteer using that could also keep it up to date

(I don't know how GitLab works now and whether they fixed that annoying bug, but we had some serious issues with the Unicorn server behind it. Cloning the repository was often stuck/broken for no good reason, just because the server thought that cloning was supposed to be done in under 30 seconds, else it broke the connection as "stale". Maybe they'll have to fix it now if all those giant projects like Qt switch to their service.)

Hey guys,

sorry for the late reply, this kind of got buried in my inbox so only now I noticed the thread on the ML archives. Nevertheless:

My Git mirror on Bitbucket still keeps the repo in sync:

https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/

Originally based on the Gitorious repo, it has been tracking Context development for a year or so by now. As a feature over Marius’s approach it keeps the beta and current in separate branches and will also pull from the Garden just in case:

https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/branches

I’ve been relying on the mirror as my primary source for change notifications and diffs of the Context source for some time now.

thanks. i could pull it the github windows client (the web interfaces cannot handle the large diffs) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
