|
|
||
| Outside [Gitlab](https://gitlab.uni.lu), the seminal web-based project management and collaboration system deployed at the university was the [Gforge @ Uni.lu](https://gforge.uni.lu) service. | ||
| Inspired by the [InriaGforge](https://gforge.inria.fr/), the general principle is to offer easy access through projects to subversion repositories, mailing lists, bug trackers, message boards/forums, task management, site hosting, permanent file archival, full backups, and total web-based administration. The major features are listed in [helpdesk website](https://helpdesk.gforge.uni.lu/). | ||
| Access to GForge is through dedicated accounts, (requested by mail: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])), for both UL members and external partners. | ||

| !!! danger "Gforge service is decommissioned since 2020" | ||
| * __Situation__: the [Gforge @ Uni.lu](https://gforge.uni.lu) service has been in production since 2008 and kept up-to-date until now. | ||
| Nevertheless, the underground product line (Gforge, moved to FusionForge after the a break-up of the original open source project in february 2009) proved to be hard to maintained, security fixes takes time to be integrated and the few unique features of the service (SVN support, static website hosting) no longer justify the maintenance effort as more recent and sustainable alternatives emerged. | ||
|
|
||
| ** For this reason, the Gforge service will be no longer available as of Dec 31, 2020** | ||

| * __Migration Plan for project repositories__ | ||
| - For SVN-based projects: [Migrate to Git](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/migrating-overview) | ||
| - Favor __public hosting services__ for your project as [github.com](https//github.com) | ||
| * Github offers both private and public projects management free of charge | ||
| * Github also supports [SVN clients](https://docs.github.com/en/github/importing-your-projects-to-github/support-for-subversion-clients) | ||
| - consider _self-hosted_ solutions on servers you can maintain as [gitolite](https://gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html) or [gitea](https://gitea.io/) | ||
| - As a last resort, consider using one of the Gitlab instances running in the different department of the university, or the ULHPC gitlab | ||
|
|
||
| You can then update the Git remote url to transition to the new host for your git project as follows: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| git remote set-url origin [...] | ||
| ``` | ||
| This will **allow you to keep all commit history**. Nevertheless, consider that all other information part of your Gforge project (tickets, project and forum messages etc.) will be **lost** once Gforge is declared out-of-service. | ||
|
|
||
| * __Alternative to Gforge features__ | ||
| - _Git repository hosting_: see above | ||
| - _Project Management/Bug Tracking_: see above as all proposed alternatives ([Github](github.com) etc.) supports this feature | ||
| - _SVN repository hosting_: | ||
| * if you really need to stick to SVN, consider [RhodeCode](https://rhodecode.com/) or [Assembla](https://www.assembla.com/subversion) | ||
| - _Mailing list_: | ||
| * The IT service of the university can grant you administration rights on a custom mailing-list upon demand of the service portal | ||
| - _Static website hosting_: if you really need to maintain a static website, consider: | ||
| * [Github pages](https://pages.github.com/) | ||
| * [Read the docs](https://readthedocs.org/) | ||
| * Ask the University IT service for a website host | ||
