I've now migrated all 103(!) of the non-attic d-i repos across from alioth to salsa, following the pattern https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/$REPO.git to https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/$REPO In each case, the old alioth repo will now reject pushes. The new repos are each set up to use KGB to announce changes in #debian-boot as previously. I've not (yet) spent any time on updating all the debian/control files to point at salsa, or updated mr configs or anything else. The repos involved are: anna apt-setup arcboot-installer babelbox bak.debootstrap base-installer bterm-unifont busybox cdebconf-entropy cdebconf-terminal cdebconf cdrom-checker cdrom-detect cdrom-retriever choose-mirror clock-setup console-setup d-i daily-build-logs debian-installer-launcher debian-installer-netboot-images debian-installer-utils debian-installer debootstrap desktop-chooser devicetype-detect dh-di efi-reader elilo-installer finish-install flash-kernel grub-installer hw-detect installation-locale installation-report iso-scan kadit-playbooks kadit kbd-chooser kernel-wedge kickseed libdebian-installer lilo-installer live-installer localechooser lowmem lvmcfg main-menu mdcfg media-retriever mklibs mountmedia net-retriever netboot-assistant netcfg network-console nobootloader oldsys-preseed os-prober partconf partman-auto-crypto partman-auto-lvm partman-auto-raid partman-auto partman-base partman-basicfilesystems partman-basicmethods partman-btrfs partman-crypto partman-efi partman-ext3 partman-iscsi partman-jfs partman-lvm partman-md partman-multipath partman-nbd partman-newworld partman-partitioning partman-prep partman-swapfile partman-target partman-ufs partman-xfs partman-zfs pkgsel prep-installer preseed quik-installer rescue rootskel-gtk rootskel s390-dasd s390-netdevice s390-sysconfig-writer s390-zfcp tzsetup udpkg usb-discover user-setup win32-loader yaboot-installer zipl-installer -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Because heaters aren't purple!" -- Catherine Pitt
