Hi Everyone! This is an update on moving the Sequoia project to SourceForge as well as other hosted service updates.
We are proceeding apace with moving services to Amazon; the moves described below look as if they will happen on MONDAY 30 MARCH. (!) So far JIRA and mailman moves seem to be going fine. Also, I have instructions from SourceForge that allegely allow me to move a full repository up to source Forge. So, I am quite hopeful I will be able to upload the full code line as we would all like. There's too much history to lose here. Quick question for Manu--do you have anything of value on the SequoiaDB project? I can back up the current contents but my plan is to overwrite the existing CVS repository with the current codeline. Finally, I should mention we are going to take copies of all code repositories over to our new home on Amazon. This will ensure we have live copies available in case the upload to SourceForge takes longer than expected.
