Svn repo on google code should be killed with a redirect

Open mlissner opened this issue 15 years ago • 2 comments

Almost all django-sphinx installation notes say to use svn and the google code repo to download django-sphinx, leading many people to download it that way, only later to realize git and github are the way to go.

This can be easily avoided, or at least fixed a bit by simply creating a README.txt, put it in the google code repo as the latest revision, and delete everything else. In the README can be a simple snippet that says:

"This project has moved. Please seek out the new code at http://github.com/dcramer/django-sphinx"

From there, just: svn rm * svn add README.txt svn ci -m "Nuking repo and redirecting people to github."

Something like that anyway. It would at least be better than having people install an old version of django-sphinx.

David, is there any chance of getting that repo closed down? I just downloaded and installed it again accidentally - Quite frustrating...

Just noticed the Google link is also on the google groups homepage: http://code.google.com/p/django-sphinx/...
