Move Repository To rust-lang

Open XAMPPRocky opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

Hello, the current rust-lang-nursery organisation is considered deprecated, and the Rust Programming Language organisation is trying to consolidate managing Rust's GitHub organisations, as such we'd like you to consider moving your repository to the main rust-lang organisation instead.

How Do I Move To rust-lang?

You won't be able to transfer your repository directly, you'll need to contact @Mark-Simulacrum, who will then move your repository to the rust-lang organisation.

Deprecating

If you no longer intend to maintain this repository, please let us know and we will take of deprecating the project.

I know Mark, but I'm not familiar with this process change. I don't think it is wise to transfer the repository without a more official communication. Can you link the announcement that rust-lang-nursery is deprecated?

@AndyGauge Hello, unfortunately there is no annoucement post for the deprecation. You can read where the Governance WG discussed this topic with core team members in the following discord link or by searching in: wg-governance rust-lang-nursery in the Rust Programming Language. This was a decision that was made awhile ago by the core team, but the work was never finished. This issue acts a continuation of that.

Yeah, that's official enough for me. It was kinda out of the blue and I couldn't find anything on rust users about it.

Whoops looks like that's above my pay grade here. I don't have the settings on the main page, just write permissions.

So I just realized that our hosting is tied to nursery. All of the google results, all of the external links are pointing to https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-cookbook/ While I would be fine moving the repo, I'd really want to make sure the hosting continues to resolve. That's a bit of a challenge, and while I know github aliases renamed repositories, I have no idea what it does for jekyll based deployments.

@AndyGauge I believe @pietroalbini has already set up a redirect so that any rust-lang-nursery.github.io 404 redirects to rust-lang.github.io.
